...When [my son] Nick was in school, there were all these women who had given up their jobs to be stay-at-home moms and they all sort of glared at you when you didn't do your share at the PTA. Now as we're going into this recession, it's all going to come back. As jobs become scarcer, women are going to bear the brunt of it. I do think that one of the great lessons that I learned from my mother was not just the necessity of working, but that being able to work...

Without that metaphorical structure, the film sags under its own weight. It was hard enough to take the 80s seriously while they were happening—or so I understand.The film...
...down a deposit mean you're out of luck if your finances are still in flux? Not necessarily. Many colleges keep reevaluating students' aid packages throughout the year. For instance, Rod Frantz, who works in marketing and public relations in Washington, applied for extra aid this spring for his son, Charles, who is a sophomore at Grinnell. Frantz had put a full-time marketing job on hold two years ago to self-finance a pet project. By the time he was ready to get back into marketing, the economy had tanked, and he says he has been searching "madly...
