...this late date, there are no second families for women. A startling number of men in the class remarried in the '90s and had a fresh batch of children. Meimei Chang, who married for the first time in 1992 and thereby acquired grownup stepchildren, rightly considers herself to be "defying the odds that a woman over 45 could do so!" Far more numerous are the divorced women who never remarried. Or the surprising number who, sometimes without intending to, never married at all. "Marriage has continued to elude me," says Cynthia McClintock, who adopted a daughter anyway. Sharon Jean...
...Saturday, Sept. 27, in the middle of the afternoon, 11-year-old Eddie Werner left his home in the Oakley Hills development in Jackson Township, N.J., outfitted in a very grownup weekend wardrobe of black jeans, a black shirt and sneakers, but holding on to a modest childlike wish--that he could sell enough candy and wrapping paper for his school's fund-raising drive to earn the grand prize of a pair of walkie-talkies.

For the first time, she was seen as a glamorous person. She looked more grownup. She pushed the announcement of the national budget to the second page of the papers...
...erotic. Smart city gals (Hepburn, Sullavan, Jean Arthur, Rosalind Russell, Dietrich, Ginger Rogers, nearly the whole fabulous constellation of '30s star actresses) would toy with this bumpkin, only to find he had magically restored their emotional virginity. In his private life--which he kept private--Stewart was a responsible grownup, a bachelor until 1949, when he married Gloria McLean. She had two sons from a previous marriage; they had twin daughters...
