Stability v. Stimulation. What kind of life would Mark have with his father? "We believe it would be unstable, unconventional, arty, bohemian and probably intellectually stimulating," answered Justice Stuart. Although the boy "would have more freedom of conduct and thought, with an opportunity to develop his individual talents," Stuart went on, "we believe security and stability in the home are more important than intellectual stimulation." While his grandparents will be more than 70 by the time he graduates from high school, "the Bannister home provides Mark with a stable, dependable, conventional, middle-class Middle West background and an opportunity...

Says Pamela Ilott, director of religious programming for CBS: "Our problem is not in coming up with new ideas but in finding enough Sundays to express them...
Wolfe like to play the waif a little bit, and there is certainly enough instinctive vulnerability in his personal make-up to give credence to the "Tom Sawyer" haircut. Describing a female jazz pianist for whom he briefly led the life of a "prole-bohemian," he said, "I think she was basically interested in me as a Yale grad student. Love should be devoid of status factors, but of course it never is. Yes." The experience of manual labor left him with the conviction that there is no wisdom in the common man. He has never voted, and thinks politics...
