Age not a measure of girlhood in midcentury debate
A quoted piece argues age is a state of spirit not wrinkles and notes a 35th birthday does not end girlhood if a woman looks or feels young. It cites immigration trends, stating 935,915 came via Ellis Island last year and names top source countries and southern migration patterns. It also covers a Navy secretary’s views on black workers’ role in America and reports a LaPorte Ind. elderly woman’s marriage.
