...WORKING PARTNERS. Barbara Moss, 29, of Howard University, was taking a calculus course seven years ago at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve. Then she met her future husband, Reginald, and through him discovered his new-found interest: black literature. Says she: "I had taken white studies all my life and didn't feel that I knew my own "history. I wanted more than the Tarzan stuff." The Mosses, who got married in 1971, transferred to Howard as juniors and ended up first (Barbara) and third (Reginald) among liberal arts graduates...
Barbara-whose parents never went beyond third grade-will begin graduate work in African history this fall at Northwestern, where she has won a two-year fellowship. Reginald, meanwhile, will continue with his architecture program at Howard until he can transfer to Chicago. They are unhappy about the separation. "We're partners, working partners," says Barbara...

Not until 1973 did he feel that he could...
Since he made his Marc, Howard has made two significant changes in his lifestyle. "The first one is that I can walk into the office looking like this," he says, waving at his jeans, the American Indian jewelry hanging from his neck, and the Coyote T shirt bought at the Second Annual Hookers' Ball in Manhattan this year. The other major change: "The freedom to do things without regard to what they cost." The things include frequent trips abroad with his wife Monique, a twelve-cylinder Jaguar and a new-found taste for Laphroaig, a Scotch malt whisky that...
