...this musical Shangri-La is the fact that it is set on private property. It was built in 1934 at the will of Sir John Christie, the scion of a rich, ancient family, who saw it as a showcase for the talents of his new wife, lyric soprano Audrey Mildmay. The current proprietor, John's son George, makes his home right next to what could be called the family store...
...Many consumers who still have their jobs see themselves as "survivors" of one of the worst upheavals ever seen in the work force, the TIME economists said. Moreover, "American workers have adapted to the idea that they're not going to have the same job forever," said labor economist Audrey Freedman, who runs a New York City-based management consulting firm.

Audrey Lee, 15, has taken a sex- education class at San Leandro High School in California, but, she asserts, "there's no real discussion about emotional issues and people's opinions." The program consists mostly of films and slides with information on sex and birth control. It lacks any give-and-take on issues like date rape and how to say no to sexual pressure. "The school doesn't emphasize anything," she says. "If you have a question, you go to your...
