...only interest in the 2008 candidates pertains to their positions on the Iraq war, accessible health care, the environment and whether they will work to transfer political power from the wallet to the ballot. Considering whether a wife is a divorcé, CEO or stay-at-home mother is more of the pageantry of personality that characterized both the 2000 and '04 elections. The past seven years are a reminder of the consequences of thinking more about the candidates' families than what their platforms mean for our families. Jacqueline Carrick Haddonfield, New Jersey...
...With divorce rates skyrocketing, even in Catholic southern Europe, the urge to look for silver linings is strong. Italy, for example, has seen a leap of 71 per cent since 1994, according to the research institute Eurispes. In 2003, there were nearly half as many separations and divorces as there were marriages.

Husband with a wandering eye meets divorcée who has no current attachments. They fly off together on an illicit holiday, fight and joke with each other, and fall in love. Back home again, they set up a mutually convenient rendezvous, a small, snug apartment. The affair, always frazzled, starts to look a little frayed, worn by convention, threatened by guilt and irresolution...
...formula is certainly familiar, but the reaction, in this case, has unexpected impact. The husband is George Segal, by far the most deft American actor of light comedy, as he proved recently in Paul Mazursky's Blume in Love (TIME, June 25); the divorcée is Glenda Jackson, whose virtuosity and energy dazzle. Together they make an elegant pair of amorous antagonists, their smooth skills bringing great fun and fresh surprise to the sort of material that can always use a good professional refurbishing...
