...striking coincidence, the first legal reverberations from test-tube fertilization were being felt last week. In U.S. district court in New York, a jury of four women and two men was hearing testimony in an unusual $1.5 million damage suit against Manhattan's Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and its chief of obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Raymond Vande Wiele. The action was brought by a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., dentist, Dr. John Del Zio, 59, and his wife Doris, 34.

...paraplegic, was a mind-opening and beautiful experience for her, but is she really going to live a with someone who's paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of her life? And Clayburgh, although she does go through a deep, soul-searching experience with a fashionable, female, Manhattan shrink after her husband leaves her, really doesn't find happiness until she finds Alan Bates. And Annie Girardot, who fits neither of these categories, instead idiotically bounces back, and forth between career, children, and lover, in that order, making not much sense...
