FORTY CARATS is a frothy farce from Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Gredy, the team that wrote Cactus Flower. With Julie Harris as a middle-aged divorcee wooed by a lad of 22, the play enters a plea for a single standard of judgment on age disparity in marriage...
RICHARD NIXON'S campaign definition accurately and eloquently summarizes the leadership that the country expects from its 37th President. In his third month in office, President Nixon is discovering that Candidate Nixon laid down a demanding standard and established a rigorous test for the man who occupies the White House.

The worrying about work is a sign that the individual can't find out, much less fulfill, her potentialities. Instead, she adopts the common standard and resorts to comparisons to measure her own worth. Her initiative is cut off. She needs friends to an artificially-heightened degree, and the reliance on friends promotes conformity and excessive hunting for security. The groups of friends that spring up are defensive units, mechanisms for keeping out the threats...
