...have been impossible in his younger years. If Charlie Chaplin had married Oona O'Neill when he was 30 or 35, it probably would not have lasted a year. Instead, he married her in 1943 at a mellower 54, when she was 18, and the marriage, with eight children, has been prolific and apparently serene. "My security and stability with Charlie," Oona has said, "stem from the difference in years between us. Provided that the partners are suited, such a marriage is founded on a rock. The man's character is formed, his life shaped." There...
...trees. The lights are always lit. Pavement stretches everywhere. Cars and buses and trains and aircraft are useless; there is no way out. No darkness. No silence. No beds. No escape from an endless series of broadcast announcements, no avoiding the silly, circular games of other people's children. There are queues for food, queues for asking questions, queues for liquor-and finally queues for nothing, because there is nothing left. Then there is only boredom, and the debris of boredom.

...takes several hours and several 200 bus fares for a woman to avail herself of them and, lacking a babysitter, she probably has to drag her other children along with her. The northern Bronx is largely white, Jewish and health-oriented; there, women go routinely to their private physicians for the same services...
Nina was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in 1935 in Tryon, N.C., the sixth of eight children. Father was a handyman, Mother a Methodist minister. Both were musical, and Nina began taking classical piano lessons at seven. Bach soon became (and remains) her favorite: "There's always a place he's going and he gets there and he comes down gently. That's perfection." In 1953, after a year of study at Manhattan's Juilliard School of Music (paid for by friends back home), she landed a $90-a-week job playing piano...
