Today I Love Lucy, with its farcical plots, broad physical humor and unliberated picture of marriage, is sometimes dismissed as a relic. Yet the show has the timeless perfection of a crystal goblet. For all its comic hyperbole, Lucy explored universal themes: the tensions of married life, the clash between career and home, the meaning of loyalty and friendship. The series also reflected most of the decade's important social trends. The Ricardos made their contribution to the baby boom in January 1953--TV's Little Ricky was born on the same day that Ball gave birth, by caesarean...
...instead of drudgery. On July 30, she wants you to get rid of "Habits That Steal Precious Moments," so that instead of reaching for a glass of wine, you are satisfied with sparkling mineral water if it is served with a wedge of lemon in a pretty goblet...

To settle all the rumors about the reasons...

He wants you to follow him out a side door of his elegant office and down a back staircase to a craftsman's workshop virtually unchanged since the 19th century. All the while, he is rhapsodizing, "This is amazing! This is unique! This is fantastique!" In the workshop, with a view across the roofs of Paris, a leatherworker hand-stitches one of four golf bags ordered...
