(* A good article, Robert.  Thanks. *)

Another aspect: The commitment that Ray Frank so highly regards
did not come out of a higher moral fiber, but more probably from the
fact that women were economically trapped in marriages  regardless of
the quality of the relationship.   Women, for the most part, did not
have the required skills to be able to support herself, let alone
her children.
