...fact that Smith would not hold the talks outside Rhodesia and Muzorewa would not hold them inside. Smith insisted that future sessions be held inside Rhodesia. But six A.N.C. members who face arrest on subversion charges if they should return to Rhodesia would not be able to attend. Smith bluntly refused to grant the council leaders temporary immunity, explaining: "It would involve people who are well-known terrorist leaders and bear the responsibility for murders and other atrocities."

When men first enrolled at Sarah Lawrence, they quickly assumed so many top student posts, says Dean Robert Wagner, that "everybody was making jokes about it." In fact, the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education reported last year that women who attend women's colleges are more likely to hold leadership positions and choose traditionally male career fields than those in coed schools...
