...historically settled for less in the workplace because of competing demands of home and family. "It is naive," she said, "to believe that the natural effect of these differences is evidence of discrimination by Sears." The judge cited Rosenberg's testimony in ruling Sears not guilty. The EEOC will appeal...
What Schaire proudly describes as the "little magazine that could" was born in 1978, but took its current form in 1984, after it was purchased by Texas Publisher Wick Allison. He set out to create an art magazine that would appeal not just to art insiders but to the general public as well.

Its humor is sub-Mad: Howard (played by Actor Ed Gale, and some other small people, in a duck suit, with Chip Zien providing the voice) is a master of "quack fu" who reads Rolling Egg and DQ magazines. He grows angry: "No more Mr. Nice Duck." He waxes philosophic: "No duck is an island." When the filmmakers grow tired of fowl puns -- about an hour after the audience does -- they switch to space opera, and Howard...
