The growing population of Splitsville-more than 1 million Americans got divorces last year, v. less than half that number a decade ago-has forced spouses to seek separate dwellings, and they usually want apartments. So do childless hetero-and homosexual couples and independent-minded women. In Los Angeles, the number of people per dwelling dropped from...

Still, as the narrator observes, "Venceslau is broadminded," and tries to bed the naked Macunaima nevertheless. It is Macunaima, healthily hetero--is this the bounds of the Brazilian revolutionaries or the Brazilian censors?--whose prudery ends the escapade...
