She and others maintain that many men refuse to back the ERA and other guarantees of equality on the ground that since women do not bear certain burdens, like the draft, they are not entitled to all of society's benefits. Most scholars, however, do not view the decision as a major high-court retreat on sex discrimination. Says University of Virginia Law Professor A.E. Dick Howard: "I'd call this a military case...
American industry must bear much of the blame for failing to hire and train enough skilled workers. Some big companies have found it easier to hire away journeymen from other firms rather than develop their own. Other firms have simply been shortsighted.

...went into culture shock, along with their wives, when they found themselves awkwardly twiddling away at home. The strike threw thousands of stadium workers (vendors, ushers and the like) out of work; it wiped out the profits of the bars and restaurants around the ballparks. At the Cubby Bear Lounge, where many Chicago Cub fans like to do their pre-and post-game drinking, Owner George Lukas has had to lay off the day bartender; his business has dried up. The strike has disturbed not only the psyches of the fans but all the lives that depend on them. Fortunately...
