...Braless and Barefoot. Kathy Power, 21, was the suspect with the deepest commitment to radical politics. A sociology major with an excellent academic record, she was frequently involved in demonstrations, including S.D.S. rallies. Her passport indicated a recent trip to Cuba. Last spring she emerged as a mainstay of the Brandeis Strike Information Center, which was established in the wake of the Cambodian incursion as a clearinghouse for information about student strikes all over the U.S. While the majority of the students working at the center were moderates, much of the real leadership was composed of radicals...
Kathy insisted that the operation be run as a collective, with no recognized spokesmen or managers. But shouts of "Kathy, Kathy!" were always in the air as students looked to her for guidance. She usually went braless and barefoot, her brown shoulder-length hair falling onto an orange smock. In Kathy's Back Bay apartment, police said, they found a field telephone switchboard, three rifles, a carbine, a pistol and a shotgun, along with an arsenal of ammunition.

...demonstrations, such as ogle-ins aimed at hardhats ("I bet you've got nice, hairy legs. Why don't you wear shorts?"). The movement has little organization, few chants or ringing slogans, and plenty of detractors, such as West Virginia Senator Jennings Randolph, who called the demonstrators "braless bubble-heads." But the women turned their opponents away with more tolerance and humor than has been the norm in American street politics. In the process, they probably won new support and undoubtedly new awareness among both men and women of the case for female rights...
...Newport. The fad seems to have blossomed on the West Coast, in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and has reached its full glory along Berkeley's Telegraph Avenue, the Fifth Avenue of the counterculture. There the variety is dazzling, further enhanced by the almost universal adoption of the braless look. Manhattan's lively East Village is another showcase for the undershirt underground, but the shirts are no longer the exclusive property of the kids. In the swank summer resorts of East Hampton, Southampton and Stonington, Captain America shirts are showing up. At the America's Cup races...
