At the same time, new demands for honesty and openness conflict with the traditional image of the strong, silent type.

In the past, the classic ski injury, the broken ankle, accounted for nearly half of all ski fractures. Now, because of stiff plastic boots that protect the ankles, and bindings that release under bone-breaking tensions, such injuries make up only...
Some jurors, by dint of personality, have made stronger impressions than others. Ruth C. Gould, 57, the chic Government-loan specialist, seems to have set the sartorial pattern for her colleagues. She displays a varied and stylish wardrobe, and her example has apparently encouraged the others to spruce up. Gould is a leader in other respects as well.
