...many women pregnant? Is it some side effect of jogging? Microwave ovens? One of the answers is demography. The 37 million-strong cohort of baby boom women is now 25 to 35 years old. As a group, these women marry later than their mothers and delay having children until their education is completed and their careers are established. Many are giving birth to long-postponed babies...
...sense of relaxation, in fact, pervades the performance. Most of the comic leads--Feste, Olivia's drunken uncle Toby Belch, (Keith Rogal) his wimpy cohort Andrew Aguecheek, (Peter Howard), and the wench Maria (Dolly Wiggins)--stick to understatement, letting the situations and the lines do the work. This tendency results in several nearly inaudible scenes, like those ones between Sebastian (Jeremy Black) and his follower Antonio--but often it works to the play's advantage, making the occasional broad comedy doubly comic. Rogal as Toby Belch may swallow a line or two, but his grimaces in otherwise underplayed scenes spark...
...makers of the sequel to Superman have drastically expanded their character and given depth to the world he must protect. Things used to be so simple; after a long day of reporting for the Daily Planet. Clark Kent would find out that his shapely cohort had managed to get herself stuck in a shark tank in Saudi Arabia.

There would always be a moment of sexual...
...very optimistic about the prospects for increasing the number of tenured women. Over the last ten years, we have been recruiting our Faculty primarily from an age cohort in which the proportion of the women Ph.D.s was probably at its lowest ebb in this century... Now, a much larger proportion of women have gone through graduate school, and the period of junior faculty service...so that the pool of women Faculty available to us for tenure positions is likely to rise appreciably... That is already having an impact. We are now beginning to see three or four tenured women appointments...
Reagan advisers and political analysts tend to agree that Bush's nomination represents a triumph of electoral logic over sentiment. (Bush was chosen, for instance, over Sen. Paul Laxalt (R-Nev.), a close friend and ideological cohort of Reagan whose selection would have put two conservative Westerners on the ticket.) A Texas oil industry, Bush has the advantage of a split geographical background. While a presidential candidate, he won six primaries--including those in the key states of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Michigan--and is being counted on to help Reagan in those areas where the former California governor is weakest...
