...women down the hall from Gorbachev was Raisa Maximovna Titorenko, a bright, popular philosophy student a year younger than he. Mlynar recalls that Mikhail initially had a good deal of competition for her attention, but the two eventually began seeing each other regularly. They were married early in 1954. The couple celebrated the occasion modestly with 30 or so other students at a party in the corner of the dormitory eating hall, then went to Gorbachev's room for their wedding night. Gorbachev's roommates had arranged to stay away. The following day, however, they drifted back, and Raisa returned...
...Hampshire snow, amid scorn and scrutiny, Lee Hart put on a brave front. She wore a red coat and a bright smile as her husband launched himself back in the spotlight. She said what was expected: "I've always believed in Gary. I never stopped believing in him." But a day later, when a raunchy taunt or two soured the comeback, the portrait of the political wife was, in a candid moment, etched in pain.

Osiris' body parts are ceramic fragments scattered at the base, each wired by bright copper cable to his ka, or soul, at the summit of the mastaba, represented by a circuit board. Death and integration: fission and fusion. Through such metaphors, Kiefer sets forth images charged with warning and suffused with hope...
Middle-class battered women are likely to suffer their plight in dutiful silence. Says Psychologist Mary Donahue of Rockville, Md.: "Often this is the quintessential good girl, bright, with some education, overprotected and without a particular career path." Generally such women give themselves over to their spouse's needs, subsuming their identities to their husband's -- and often losing their self-esteem in the process. Invariably they blame themselves for their mate's abusive behavior. Once, when her physician-husband smacked her across the face, Amy, 30, of Brooklyn, N.Y., remembers saying, "Honey, let me give you a doughnut. Maybe...
