If he chops off his wife's head, that makes the headlines. “We use Hollywood as an example. So dd tiie Russians. Could any one of us be taken from a normal life and be put in Hollywood and lead a nor mal life?" ' “Don t sat taken in by some of this stuff you read in the magazines anr see in the movies.” Most movies have fairybook endings, but he said, “Did you ever realize that Clark Gable starts the same thing over with the other girl.” Two of the most important ingredi ents in marriage are cooperation and courage. “One of the first things you must do (after you are married) is to respect each other’s individuali ty.
