that were either married or had children or both increased dramatically. In
1965, women with children under 18 years of age numbered 35.0 percent of the

achievement on her face. She obviously knows that her hand is a winner, and that
her companion will soon be without even his shoes.
On the table are two glasses of milk. This is one of the most powerful
