...Corps was formed. No longer a mere auxiliary, the Women's Army Corps today numbers 46,000, and there are 170 women in training to become officers at West Point. Now the Army is studying the whole role of women in uniform and trying to decide whether to add more of them. A 133-page special study released by the Pentagon last week concluded that yes, as many as 6,000 more women could be added-an important point in light of projections that the all-volunteer army may have trouble filling its ranks in the years ahead...

In person the Pistols' antics add to the entertainment, if one enjoys a little gutter rebellion and a lot of depleted expectations. Rotten, Vicious, Jones and Drummer Paul Cook are only in their early 20s, but they have mastered the art of the 1950s pelvic thrust completely. Rotten is the live shell: an emaciated, electric figure who jumps from simian crouch to arm-swinging swirl to Groucho Marx prowl. Dissolving a coy smile into a demonic leer, he half snarls, half...
