...foes were also active. Organized by Phyllis Schlafly of Alton, Ill., a conservative Republican and the leading opponent of the ERA, they passed out home-baked bread to legislators, symbolizing the wifely services they contend are threatened by the amendment. Schlafly warned that the ERA would lead to the drafting of women. Said she: "We do not want our daughters treated like men or like sex playmates in the armed forces." On Wednesday, ERA supporters streamed into the statehouse at 6 a.m. to bear witness to the vote. For over ten hours they waited. And waited. And waited some more...

Even many Gannett hands are frustrated by the company's failure to produce one truly outstanding daily. A comparison is often made with Knight-Ridder, which purchased the struggling Philadelphia Inquirer in 1969 and spent millions righting it. The Inquirer, which last week won its sixth consecutive Pulitzer, now stands comfortably in the black and high in the esteem of U.S. journalists. For some of Gannett's employees, it will take more than last week's Pulitzer to make...
