" Just as many young people are no longer willing to give themselves completely to one person, so they no longer expect to get all of the emotional satisfactions they need from a single lifelong partner. "The fantasy of one-to-one sufficiency has let us down," Comfort asserts. "A husband or wife is expected to be mother, father, child, uncles and aunts; this is a greater burden than any one human being can possibly carry...
Died. José Limón, 64, one of the creators of the American modern dance; of cancer; in Flemington, N.J.

Her fairness toward those who caused her suffering is admirable, but a spirited apologia and a bit of justifiable human anger would be more revealing. In fact, Mead's dispassionate recital of events that must have hurt her suggests a lifelong flight from personal feeling, and possibly even from people. One of the book's more revealing passages may be the one in which Mead describes her attic office at Manhattan's American Museum of Natural History: "It was the kind of room I had always chosen in each house...
