...Dutch media have played an important role in educating the public, says Dr. Evert Ketting of the Dutch Mental Health Center, citing frequent broadcasts on birth control, abortion and related issues. "We've been told that no Dutch teenager would consider having sex without birth control," says Guttmacher Spokeswoman Jane Murray. "It would be like running a red light...
...fashioned is precisely the description that the avant-garde would attach to Briton David Pownall's Pride and Prejudice, being given its U.S. premiere in a meticulous production by Kenneth Frankel at New Haven's Long Wharf Theater.

"I heard you were making it big as a singer, and I pictured you in a gingham dress," said a friend...
...signals of passion might be changed: an ear might be nibbled, for example, or the nape of a neck nuzzled. Actual kissing may have to be handled by the special-effects department: an artful illusion. Producers may lie around the pool of the Beverly Hills Hotel, smoking cigars, reading Jane Austen and Henry James, looking for a hot love scene. --By Lance Morrow
