From one woman in the v.i.p. section who sported a "Blind Lesbians from Hell" logo to another with the starkly-lettered slogan "Alaskan Fisherwomyn for Choice," it was the clothes that made the "Mobilization for Women's Lives" last Sunday afternoon in Washington...

Thinking she has fallen love with a young man, she sells her house and withdraws all of her savings in order to marry him.
