...boyfriend is sweet and mature, so unlike the guys here. I just wish they'd understand. I'm thinking of telling my parents about it but I don't want extra lectures from them too. Sure it's unconventional--so what? I think it's just ageism. Right, Norma? In Love in Currier...
...their men wholeheartedly, clash with a pair of prudish widows. Ada, who tells us she performs sex for money, possesses a cynicism which clashes with the young women's naivete about finding true love in the world.

Squeaky Claudine Longet, a vanilla songstress of the '60s and '70s, shot her boyfriend, a killing that she called accidental and a jury called criminally negligent homicide. But for the most part singers, even the ones who like to pal with mobsters, have been content to leave gunplay to the pros. Not gangsta rappers. In a world where it can seem as if everybody's "strapped" -- meaning armed -- the rapper Spice 1 bragged...
