Clinicians of a more humanistic persuasion, such as Harry Stack Sullivan, have taken a much more positive view of homosexual and bisexual adaptations. A notable example of an enlightened clinician is Carl Rogers. Appearing last year as the Burton lecturer for the Graduate School of Education, Rogers stated his support for sexual variations, which he termed "lifestyles"; he repeated his belief that public opinion is in a process of positive change toward tolerance and acceptance...
...made it worse. Says Becky Vascellaro, 24, a nurse who was attending a Total Woman seminar in Oklahoma City last month: "I work part time, and I'd like to advance my career, but I put my family first." Others in the class had similar views. Sharon Burton, 30, wife of an insurance agent: "You don't go to college and get a degree in how to make a marriage work, and people put you down when you tell them that's your goal." And Sharon Stiverman, 38: "People constantly say, 'You have a college degree...

Rigg is especially proud of her transformation into Taylor. Says she: "I did the major makeup work myself. The black wig, the beauty spot-and showing off the cleavage...
Rivals Humbled. ABC, which had risked $6 million on the production starring LeVar Burton as Kunta Kinte, Lou Gossett as his slave tutor, and a clutch of familiar TV veterans, humbled its network rivals in a week-long domination of the Nielsen ratings. Had ABC gambled even more by delaying the show until the start of the so-called sweep week on Jan. 31, the triumph would have been even sweeter. During those periods, ratings services measure the audiences of local stations, and the networks often air their strongest shows then to boost affiliate ad rates...
