XII. Modern America
Two world wars, a depression, an arms race, an energy crisis, the information
superhighway, the Menudo phenomenon: the modern factors influencing breakups
in society as we now know them are far too numerous to explore individually.
There remain, however, copious lessons to be learned from the role models
of the day, particularly in the key areas that distinguish our nation from
the pack:
Technology
Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp:
Get tattoo of lover's name only if you're sure your artist has the skill
to one day conceal lettering in illustration.
Olivia Newton-John and Matt Lattanzi:
Xanadu -- it can't last.
Business
Donald Trump and Ivana Ex-Trump:
Say "I Will Survive" with your own line of omnipresent perfume.
Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett....
Do not break up with someone whose pin-up will come back to haunt you when
the 1970s do.
Art
Woody "Husbands and Wives" Allen and Mia Farrow:
Do not provoke the wrath of a major Hollywood screenwriter.
Nora "Heartburn" Ephron and Carl Bernstein:
Become a major Hollywood screen writer.
