Maybe. At any rate, it seems likely that sociologist Arlie Hochschild's The Second Shift (Viking; $18.95) will turn up in empty fridges, on piles of undone laundry and taped to "I'm long gone, George" notes left on breakfast tables. It is dire stuff, whose thesis is that in normal, modern two-career marriages, most men -- even those who talk equality -- do not really do much child rearing, cooking, cleaning, food shopping, or enough other chores to count...
