...were in school. Women who wanted higher education were expected to still be model wives and mothers. The point here is not so much that women are mistreated as that planning is needed to provide for people whose lifestyles differ from the traditional American family way of life. Single parent families, families in which one parent is a student and the other must work to provide support, and those in which both parents need or wish to work cannot operate feasibly without the benefit of child care...
...Exxon were shorn of all its foreign operations, it would still be the ninth or tenth largest U.S. industrial company-even though it gets only 16% of its oil production and 32% of its sales from the U.S. Orphaned from their corporate parent, Exxon's petrochemical operations, which produce materials that go into fertilizers, records, pantyhose and myriad other products, would rank about fifth among U.S. chemical companies. If Exxon merely transported oil, it would be the world's biggest shipping firm, with 155 tankers of its own and varying numbers under charter at sea. In finance...

The latest educational innovation, imposed upon Dallas parents and children for the first time this fall, is an 8½-in. by 14-in. number-filled sheet that looks more like a page from a company audit than a report card...
...late to revive that show, which never laughed quite hard enough at itself, but Lorelei is a particularly tawdry retread. Jule Styne has added a few routine songs; and the book, originally by Anita Loos and Joseph Fields, has been updated by Kenny Solms and Gail Parent. Lorelei has been touring the country for eleven months. Perhaps that is why not even the Art Deco sets - inappropriate for a 1920s story- look fresh. The book, which always had the flaw of seeming more heartless than its heroine, now seems just plain crass...
