...fighting romance, is required to get into a duel with him. Presumably, that is something the athletic and liberated modern wom an can identify with, but it is a silly business. Olivia de Havilland could prove her fighting spirit with a word or a glance and not suffer even the tiniest rip in her bodice.

One out of four people is "emotionally tense" and worried about insomnia, fatigue, too much or too little appetite and ability to cope with modern life. At least 10% of the population suffer from some form of mental illness, and one-seventh of these receive some form of psychiatric care.
