...Skiddy Von Stade, dean of Freshmen, preferred to attack the problem more bluntly: "When I see the bright well-educated, but relatively dull housewives who attended the 'Seven Sisters,' I honestly shudder at the thought of changing the balance of males vs. females at Harvard," he said in a letter to a Radcliffe admissions officer. "Quite simply. I do not see highly educated women making startling strides in contributing to our society in the foreseeable future.

Dad, 41, was shown to be a man whose achievement of wealth, a handsome house and the senior vice presidency of a bank could not mask "the first faint shudder of discontent." His wife Jane, 39, was told that though she had won "her prince [and] her castle . . . she has found herself not living happily ever after." The three children, aged ten to 14, got the idea that their active, clubby mother might be neglecting them. The family learned that the eldest child, Sheri, considered...
