Children are in fact the most excellent and obvious reason for the trend. Dr. and Mrs. John Mumma of Bellingham, Wash., have nine, but there is plenty of running, jumping, dancing and shouting room in their magnificent 1903 mansion. The 30-foot-high ballroom is now more of a gym than anything else, but, says Mumma, "it will pay for itself through eight home weddings for the girls." The three children of Harvard Professor Jean-Claude Martin were comfortable in a six-room house, but they are blooming in the 17-room baroque relic of the 1870s that he bought...
...phrases like "tip him a settler" (knock him out), epithets like "nipcheese" (a parsimonious person), verbs like "fadge" (to make sense).

...television, the soap business is a bubbly world of pretty housewives showing off their blinding white wash, of jocular lady plumbers, and of children smearing their cherubic faces with soft, pure suds. In reality, the soap industry is one of the least jocular, least cherubic sectors of U.S. business. Last week on TV programs from Match Game to Monday Night at the Movies and on supermarket shelves across the U.S., the soapmakers were kicking and jabbing harder than ever in a battle over which will dominate the most lucrative spot in the market-the laundry room.
