...Aeneas' mother, who simply wants to guarantee her son's physical safety in a potentially hostile land. The goddess did not guess the damage her meddling would cause to Aeneas' reputation. But Fitzgerald's translation makes vivid the sufferings of both Dido and her anointed suitor: "Duty-bound,/ Aeneas, though he struggled with desire/ To calm and comfort her in all her pain." And he, "shaken still/ With love of her, yet took the course heaven gave him/ And went back to the fleet." However paraphrased, this brand of heroism is easier to admire than love...

White masks painted on the faces of the actors heighten their stylization, making them cartoon versions of themselves. These masks emphasize the actors' exaggerated facial expressions, making...
...displaying of the label could become de rigeur in the early stages of a relationship--possibly during advanced "foreplay." In those ethnic and hyper-traditional groups in which a suitor asks for a woman's hand in marriage, he might be required to bring a sampling of his under things for the parents to peruse. And, in the case of seduction, underwear will probably prove the source of considerable stress and depression. A woman who wakes to find that her paramour wears Caldor generics could experience severe self-doubt and fear of ostracism from her peer group. Psychotherapists should take...
