...resist. When reinforced with an often facile symbolism, these nuances of individual behavior cement the stereotyping of sexual roles that makes The Middle of the World far inferior to Scenes from a Marriage in its dissection of a couple's relationship.

He is now recuperating from a liver operation in Manhattan's VA hospital: "I don't think we had any right over there. I don't mind helping the people, but they should have fought the war themselves.
