...parenthood were hypothetically involved when children were abandoned to baby farms, workhouses and, most frequently, to wet nurses, who assumed the duties of motherhood for two to five years of a child's life. In Dickensian realities, the only emotion expended by institutions like workhouses was greed. The relationship that probably comes closest to the Baby M. case was that between a governess and her charges, whom she was technically hired to tutor and discipline, but for whom, more often than not, she provided tenderness and affection as well. Rochester paid Jane Eyre to love his child...
...formal smiles are fading fast. Until now the trade relationship between the U.S. and Japan has been handled with relative congeniality, especially considering the rising tensions on each side. Practically every potential crisis has been forestalled with cool-headed talks and bilateral agreements. But what seemed at worst a spirited competition between two trade giants last week escalated into a confrontation that could, if not handled carefully, develop into an old-fashioned trade war.

But Shepherd, as the straitlaced ice queen, and Willis, as the wisecracking clod-with-a- heart-of-gold, are a screen team to treasure. Despite some straining this season, the writers have managed to deepen and develop their relationship without losing the comic fizz. And no other series takes more chances. The actors frequently step out of character for asides to the camera, and the show may break completely from format on a whim. One of this season's episodes featured a seven-minute Gene Kellyesque dance number. Another...
