...culture hipped on youth, face-lifting is becoming an economic survival tool. Says Robert Stevenson, 58, a New York corporate interior designer who does not want to be forced into retirement: "If you're a dynamo but have gray hair, you won't get the job." Uplift by scalpel is not to white-collar occupations, either. A surgeon says, "It is Mr. and Mrs. America who shop at K mart are getting face-liftings."

Women, or relationships with women, are the stuff of experience, and all experience is a woman. Evidently, Jagger is still obsessed with his divorce, and "Summer Romance," "Send It To Me," and "Let Me Go" al concern breaking up. "Summer Romance" is the apotheosis of the summer song, jumping like a convertible with tight shocks on the way to Jones Beach. "Send It To Me," a bizarre reggae tribute to Motherhood and the women of the Warsaw...
