...Amusing, but not entirely appropriate," huffed one scientist in the A.G.U. audience, which greeted the bathroom research with polite but restrained applause. Pierce was unruffled by the cool reception. "If I had said that these were experiments on the breakup of water and had set it up as a laboratory experiment," he said, "then it would be taken very seriously. But as a matter of fact, it works perfectly in a bathroom and that's very much cheaper...
France's North Atlantic Treaty partners have long since resigned themselves to a breakup in the family provoked by Charles de Gaulle. Many thought he would disavow the treaty-or, at the very least, insist on NATO's complete overhaul and reform. But last week, in letters penned by the master of the Elysée in his long, sloping hand and sent to President Johnson and other NATO-country chiefs, De Gaulle at last spelled out his concept of a separation agreement.

For the newest male mode is nothing less than a reissue of Hollywood...
...system has not only succeeded in making divorce unpleasant, complicated and expensive; it has been woefully ineffective in its original aim of holding down divorce and protecting society from the problems that breakups produce. Roughly 400,000 U.S. couples are being divorced each year. About 40% of them are childless; the rest have some 500,000 children, two-thirds of them under the age of ten. More than 6,000,000 Americans are now divorced or separated, and divorce seems to breed divorce: probably half of all divorced Americans are the children of divorced parents. Divorce or separation occur most...
