During the 1968 campus uprising at Columbia, nearly half the students who "liberated" university buildings were girls from Barnard College. But while the men mounted the barricades, the women mostly sat in the back rooms, cranking out leaflets or making peanut-butter sandwiches. Many of them resolved then and there never again to defer to male "machismo trippers." Since that time, the cause of Women's Lib in academe has flourished. Next to local voting rights, it is now the most visible cause on major campuses that otherwise seem free of controversy and revolt this year...
...artist, and he thrashed about in the dogma-bound and ceremonious society of Counter-Reformation Rome like a beast in a net. In 1604 Caravaggio was haled into court for assaulting a Roman waiter who had brought him a dish of artichokes, six cooked in oil and six in butter. Caravaggio asked which were which. "Taste them," retorted the waiter, "and you will see." Caravaggio jumped to his feet, laid the man's cheek open with the edge of the dish and tried to skewer him with his rapier.

If the Democrats neutralize the social issue by talking tough, then they say, they will be able to win by returning to the Scammon version of the "economic issues," which turns out to be bread-and-butter liberalism.

...chefs, wine stewards and waiters. Maxim's shopping list included 25,000 bottles of wine-including a Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, 1945, at $100 a bottle-that were sent to Iran a month early to rest. There were also 7,700 Ibs. of meat, 8,000 Ibs. of butter and cheese, and 1,000 pints of cream to feed the guests and their legions of attendants. The menu for the main banquet was up to the occasion: quail eggs stuffed with caviar (the only Iranian dish on the menu); a mousse of crayfish tails in Nantua sauce; stuffed rack...
...Butter Money. A general currency realignment would be only the indispensable first step toward long-term monetary reform. Economists everywhere are offering plans for more fundamental change-some of them rather fanciful. Japan's Nobutane Kiuchi would risk reviving memories of the Axis by having Japan and Germany agree to a new fixed rate for converting yen into marks, and inviting other countries to tie their currency values to this rate. Britain's Nicholas Kaldor suggests a new international money convertible not into dollars or gold but into a series of commodities, including wheat, butter, sugar and rubber...
