Warren Motley plays the love-beleagured Clarence, Jr. with a suitable adolescent hunch; particularly good are his scenes opposite the spunky but innocent Mary Skinner (Cindy Rosenthal). His younger brothers John (Scott Maitland) and Whitney (William Price Schwalbe) are also fine, though they tend at times to resort to predictable grimacing and posturing. Little Harlan (Jeffrey Manwaring) is a delightful seven-year-old--quietly cute with a minimum of the necessary saccharine. The rest of the supporting cast are fine character types, though the maids might do well by talking some of the squeal out of their crying scenes...

Particulars of My Life, the opening volume of Skinner's autobiography, ends as he packs his bags to leave for graduate study in psychology at Harvard. Still to come are his years of pioneering research, his prolific writing career, and his eventual rise to the position of spokesman for the school of behavioristic psychology. The book does have its personable side, for Skinner doesn't balk at recounting more commonplace exploits that we can sympathize with: for example, his bumbling adolescent sexual adventures, reminiscent of those of Holden Cauldfield and Woody Allen. But although ordered, it is not cohesive...
