...meantime, Conrad Chisholm, 55, is setting them all a good example. As the husband of Presidential Candidate Shirley Chisholm, he has taken leave from his job as a private investigator in New York City to chauffeur the candidate around, research her speeches and "see that she's fed, clothed, eats on time and gets to her appointments. Shirley's the one out there making it, not me." Non-Chauvinist Conrad adds: "If you are a man-and a mature man-you do everything to maintain your wife's stardom...
...River: Red China Today, is widely regarded as the best single piece of writing on China under the Communists. More recent articles concentrated on the current Chinese lifestyle. They included crisp, if hardly conclusive comparisons with conditions in the West: "The man in the street is well fed, in good health, adequately clothed . . . His worries do not include increases in food prices, the cost of Medicare or taxes. He lives within a slender budget, but in compensation he doesn't know debts, mortgages, the fear of hunger which afflicted his parents...
Westerners who remember the pre-1949 China, however, have been almost euphorically impressed by the transformation that Communism has achieved. The people, visitors note, appear happy, relaxed and well fed.

"We categorize people, call them names like 'culturally disadvantaged' or 'white racists,' names that say some thing all right but not enough?be-cause those declared 'culturally disadvantaged' so often are at the same time shrewd, sensitive and in possession of their own culture, just as those called 'white racists' have other sides...
...year itchers should find the first act over whelming. Always a popular target and one which has been riding particularly low in recent years, marriage doesn't really deserve such unrestrained vehemence. And Senelick is ruthless in his prosecution. Senelick has dealt with these love-hate relationships before. When fed up with what he considered the Loeb's non-theatrical organization, he founded "Harpo", the Harvard Producing Organization. Senelick choose for the inaugural performance "Married Alive"--a collection of three one-act farces on married life including George Bernard Shaw's Overruled, George Feydeau's Madame's Late Lamented Mother...
