August 1960

Does too much sun make you old?

ACROSS the nation on any given weekend, tens of thousands of artfully denuded, oil-soaked Americans are sacrificing themselves to the sun, alternately parboiling to a shade slightly more crimson than a torero's cape, then basting in the water like a cooked goose. They are part of a vast and growing cult of sun worshipers whose aim is to look as if they just returned from their private island in the Bahamas.

Why Mamie will be glad to leave the White House

A First Lady's role has never been easy. Martha Washington, after eight years of marriage to a President, complained that she "felt like a state prisoner." Mrs. Woodrow Wilson wept furiously in front of politicians as she begged her husband not to run for a second term. James Polk's wife once said, "I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than mistress of the White House."

REMEMBER the granddaddies of 1960 appliances? Space-eaters-- wooden icebox, cookstove, hand pump-- ruled kitchens.

Has the American family fallen out of love?

THE first words I remember as a child on the Lower East Side of New York were those of my mother: "Ess, ess, mein kindt" (Eat, eat, my child). Fifty years later, if you were still lucky enough to have your mother, those would be the first words you'd hear when you visited her-- "Ess, ess, mein kindt." And to your sister, no matter how much older you were, you would always be the "baby brother."

Now that politicians have opinion polls to find out what the voters think, some method should be developed to give the voters some idea of what the politicians think.
