Last month, Hans-Gûnter Hoppe, head of the West Berlin justice department, announced that "Mother" Harre, 41, had been appointed warden -the first woman ever to boss a male prison in Germany and one of the first such women wardens anywhere in the world. Turning to Miss Harre, he added: "Your female intuition and your motherly understanding-plus your toughness-assure me that our juvenile prison is in good hands.

Where it once took a crew of technicians to install an air conditioner, the average woman can now take one home and start it cooling in five minutes. Another reason for the rush, manufacturers say, is propaganda and pressure on parents from their children. Says William B. Clemmens, manager of General Electric's room-air-conditioner division: "Our children are raised in an air-conditioned culture. They attend...
