...most Belgians, the oil companies' action smacks of blackmail. Businesswoman and Oil-Company Critic Simone Descamps complains: "In the U.S., the oil companies explain that their high profits last year are due to the rise of prices in Europe.

...Republican woman running for office-or if it would help more, I would not go." While the caucus has its share of familiar liberationists like Betty Friedan, it also includes Liz Carpenter, the tart-tongued Texan who used to be Lady Bird Johnson's press secretary; Businesswoman Virginia Allan, who served as chairman of President Nixon's task force on women's rights; and former Republican National Committeewoman Elly Peterson, her party's candidate for Michigan Senator eight years ago. The members of the caucus have little in common but their sex and a determination...
