...cover story on the way women baby boomers are facing the turning point of middle age prompted readers to share their tales of transformation, self-discovery and starting over. Some women argued against waiting until 50 to break loose from life's confines. And some men felt just plain left out Your article on the midlife transformation of women was wonderful [Aug. 22]. Female baby boomers are pioneers in innovatively facing a new stage of life. Just as teenagers break away from childhood to begin preparing for adulthood, women (and men) in midlife must depart from traditional adulthood and grow...
...security contributions from wages, by arguing that "people don't earn too much in Germany, but because of the nonwage costs the cost of labor is too high." "We're not making any promises we can't keep," she assures the Dresden crowd. "We're just telling you in plain and simple language what we're going to do."

What on the outside is simply brutal violence, from within becomes an act of total self-giving love." Still, however...
...alienated teens imagine that they have a great secret destiny. The fantasy is actually true for the just-plain-alien teens of Roswell, who turn out to be refugees from a crashed spacecraft escaping an interstellar war. This 1999-2002 series lasted only about as long as high school does, but the final season shows why it is missed: it cut its high emotion with humor and grounded its sometimes loopy sci-fi adventure in the Romeo-Juliet affair between space boy Max (Jason Behr) and Earth girl Liz (Shiri Appleby). Ending in a graduation--what else?--the last...
