Feminism's future in Red Oak lies, of course, in its women of the future. High School Senior Rachel Hays is a cheerleader, and in Red Oak, cheerleaders-once the summa of girlish status-are becoming passé. Says Rachel: "They're having trouble scraping up enough girls in the class behind us." Her goal: "I think what I'd really like is to marry a millionaire." She is quickly corrected by Sarah McKenzie, a member of the junior class that has failed to produce enough cheerleaders: "Don't say 'I'm going...

The Juliet of the premiere was Italy's Carla Fracci, whose gentle, girlish way of evoking youthful passion is complemented by the stiff, manly Romeo of Ivan Nagy.

He is apparently victorious but eventually frustrated. In the role of the mysterious wife, Dorothy Tutin catches the unconscious cruelty...
...concentrating on night life, however, we overlook Lolita, girlish wonder of Coral Beach. Lolita strolls the beach all day with her mother, and sometimes makes catches. Tuesday, Murray and I ran into Lolita and her mother. Momma, after telling us quickly about her boy friends, wanted to know our college backgrounds. "Harvard? Gee, you must work awfully hard. Come on, you must. No one could last four years there without doing something," We tried to be honest...
