While it may have changed its terms of reference slightly, otherwise it has altered almost not at all since man first crawl- ed out of the ooze. I am talking about the family. I became aware of this during a panel discussion by my high school students. The topic was "Early Marriages." (You'll be glad to know they are 100 per- cent against them!) One panelist referred to the glossy, saccharine, phoney ver- sion of marriage presented on TV and movie screens, She said it gave teenagers a false idea of marriage. A boy promptly snorted, "Nobody's taken in by those, We all come from homes with married people in them. Marriage isn't like that at all," Everyone agreed. And how right they were. Those cute, comfortable and contrived families we see on the screen are about as much like the real thing as a ketchup- splattered Hollywood war is like a real war, with real blood, real bodies, real terror. Oh, I know. There are broken homes and teenage delinquents and all that jazz. But don't you think there were any such in Rome 2,000 years ago, or Ath- ens 3,000 years ago? It's just that they get a better play in the papers these days. Family life always has been, and still is, a fascinating combination of fun and frustration, comfort and chaos. Sixty-eight thousand years ago, this week, some crazy, hairy woman waded through the guck and bones to the back of the cave, took a look around, went back to the fire, kicked her happy, recumbent, husband and burbled, ',Come on, Buster, we're going to clean this place up." And the day before yesterday, my wife took me by the hand, led me down cellar, and burbled, "Come on, Buster, we're going Lucan personals rimmauguaraspearater kraramistmammaidem Mrs. Clarence Lewis pre- sided at the Granton WI meeting held at the home of Mrs. Clif- ford McRoberts.
