...idea whose time had been a long season coming. Since 1923, a constitutional amendment proposing equal rights for women had languished in Congress, debated seriously only rarely. But last week, with a disparate array of midwives in attendance, the Equal Rights Amendment passed the Senate, 84 to 8, and was sent to the states for ratification. If approved by three-quarters of the states, it will become the 27th Amendment to the Constitution...

Israel ignores her poor. Jewish women are robots. Reform Jews are rubber-stamp leftists. Synagogues are sterile shells. These outspoken, sometimes outrageous statements are not the howls of angry Gentiles or even anti-Semitic Jews. They are the assertions of new voices in a combative array of Jewish magazines and newspapers that are blooming across the U.S. like kibbutzim in the desert. Some 50 publications with a combined press run of 400,000 now heckle Establishment Judaism from California to New York, even in such unlikely places as Norman, Okla., and Albuquerque...
