Item 1: This Chicago case reached-and was eventually dismissed by-the Illinois fair employment practices commission. The woman at first claimed she had been fired for giving a "birthday kiss" to a black male coworker, who was also sacked. But even after an investigation established that the kiss had led to something more, the woman still attributed her dismissal to discrimination. She argued that it would not have occurred had her partner been white. Questions: Is there not some limit to the personal habits and traits that an employer must tolerate? Would not this woman's employer...
...love life more now than I did as a boy, and I will go on loving it more until my last moments." The speaker was Painter Marc Chagall, who celebrated his 90th birthday last week. For the occasion, his friend and fellow Russian, Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, helped to organize a gala concert in Nice, not far from Chagall's hillside home in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Among the other performers who played or sang in his honor: Violinist Isaac Stern, Baritone Hermann Prey and Flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal. Chagall attended the concert as well as a nearby exhibition...
Much of the change that has come over Carew stems from a night in 1968. He went out to a local nightspot with friends for drinks and a favorite diversion, girl watching.

"I never went out with anyone whom my family didn...
...pulled up stakes. He and his wife Lucy, "the last survivors of Pankot's permanent retired British residents," coexist amiably with most of the natives-but not so well with each other. Tusker's irascibility has been honed by questionable health and the approach of his 71st birthday. Lucy, whose chief diversion in recent years has been local showings of Hollywood movies, has begun to feel that life with Tusker is not going to get much better. In approved silver-screen manner, she utters dramatic monologues to empty rooms: "Tusker and I do not truly communicate with...
Fireworks blossomed and flags rippled in Ottawa last week, as 23 million Canadians-or most of them, anyway -cheered the 110th anniversary of their national confederation. The $3.5 million birthday bash was a big change from last year, when merrymaking funds were slashed abruptly by an austerity-minded government. This time the question of national unity overrode any urge for thrift. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was determined to show that Canadians want to stick together as a nation despite the election victory of the separatist Parti Québécois last November in Quebec, his country's largest...
