I submit that men do not build houses or castles or beautiful churches or diesel trains, or even make soap, for themselves. They do it for, or because of, women." As a result of all this, said Mrs. Houghton, "women were never so important as in the year...
While the Allied High Commissioners and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer dickered, Soviet puppets kept new sideshows going in East Germany.

This loosens the fractures and the oil begins to flow freely...

All this choked-up sadness, punctuated by organ chordings, will make most televiewers feel as though they have been dunked in an emotional bubble bath. Search for Tomorrow dispenses with the synopsis of previous episodes. This adds to the confusion but permits the actors that many more minutes of suffering...
