...Vinsons to Omar Bradley and Louis Bromfield, find her a likable, kindly woman. Bromfield pronounces her "one of the gayest people I know-she could give you a good time if she had only a five-cent beer." They suspect that she is lonely. With the bounty of a childless woman, she lavishes affection on her blonde niece Betty Tyson, whose Newport coming-out party in 1945 was the gaudiest shindig since before the war. Her restlessness has found outlets in her parties and such causes as the women's equal-rights amendment, for which she has lobbied tirelessly...
Whim of Iron. Porter's life story has another deficiency as a movie plot. His 1919 Paris marriage to a wealthy beauty, Linda Lee Thomas, has been placid, childless, fashionable-and free of both the romantic hubbub and the folksiness that Hollywood prefers in its patterned fictions. Intimates describe the Porters as "great, devoted friends." They live on the 41st floor of Manhattan's Waldorf Towers, and from time to time share the mirrored elegance of his California summer place in Brentwood (complete with a swimming pool that lights up at night), or her luxurious house in Williamstown...

Newsday, out of the red for two years, is now paying him back...

It was only after several years of childless marriage that my husband and I discovered, to our astonishment, that he was sterile. Had it not been for the sympathetic cooperation of a certain obstetrician we would have had to remain childless, and thus ruin our whole future happiness, or else undertake the difficult and uncertain business of adoption-an alternative which is full of psychological problems for both parents and children, and certainly no completely satisfactory substitute for bearing and raising your...
...things that doctors say about childless women just aren't so, thinks British Gynecologist John Stallworthy. He studied the first 1,000 women who went to Oxford's Fertility Clinic (founded in 1943), reported his findings in the issue of the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the British Empire that reached the U.S. last week...
