W: Edward, tell us what you know about Dean's early life.
M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasn't there long though because his mother passed away just four years later. Jimmy's father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt.
W: So how did he get into acting？
M: Well, first he acted in plays at high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951 he moved to New York to do more stage acting.
W: Then when did his movie career really start？
M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success. But the movie that really made him famous was his second one—Rebel without a Cause, that was about teenagers who felt like they didn't fit into society.
W: So how many more movies did he make？
M: Just one more, then he died in that car crash in California in 1955.
W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies! So what made him the legend he still is today？
M: Well I guess his looks, his acting ability, his short life, and maybe the type of character he played in his movies. Many young people saw him as a symbol of American youths.

M: An author once said "People get so caught up in careers, raising kids and satisfying their own souls, that they forget that their marriage needs to be fed too."
W: Could you give us some advice on how to improve our marital relationship？
M: The first piece of advice from me is to be your spouse's biggest fan.
W: What do you 'mean by that？
M: Let me give you an example. At a dinner party, a man said, "My wife has a great eye for color. She's so artistic." The women at the table glanced enviously at his wife, who was beaming at the unexpected praise. Words of praise are so important. Unfortunately, most of us are more likely to criticize our spouse in public.
W: What is the second piece of advice？
M: Spend some time apart.
W: You mean that time apart can actually bring you closer together？
M: Yes. When a hairdresser expressed an interest in cycling, his wife didn't complain. Instead, she agreed to mind the children for three hours every other Saturday morning so he could join a local bike club. Within a few months the hairdresser was fitter, happier and a lot more pleasant to be around. "I may not be out there riding with him," his wife says, "but I'm definitely reaping the benefits."
W: What is your third piece of advice？
M: You should try to address the needs of your spouse.
W: In marriage there should be pleasing of each other.
M: Sure. 1 have come across a couple. They told me this. Having heard her husband complain about all the toys spreading across their home, the wife bought some shelves and did some sorting and organizing. When the husband came home, he was very happy.
W: Thank you for your advice.
M: My pleasure.

M: Well, I'm working on a term paper about the influence of television on recent United States presidential elections. I found a few of the books I need at the main library, but I was told that the library here at the graduate school had more specialized materials.
W: Of course it depends on what you want, but we do subscribe to a large number of journals. Since you' re working on such a broad topic, you'll probably have to do a lot of digging. It may take some time, but I' m sure you'll be able to find many articles relevant to your topic. We also have quite a few newspapers on microfilm.
M: I think I' ve come to the right place. How can I find out which journals you have？
W: I can give you a list of all of them. But if you want to search by author or by subject, you can use one of the computers over there in the comer. Everything we have is seen them.
M: What if I run across a reference to a research study that isn't available here？
W: You can request any outside material just by typing your request into the computer.
M: You mean you can get materials from other universities？
W: Not only from other universities, but from virtually any public or private library in the United States. The only limitation is that outside materials cannot be checked out.
