...nation still needs predominantly black institutions "through which blacks can have a means of expression and which can serve as cultural centers for black communities." For seven years the president of the nation's most prestigious largely black university, Cheek, 43, has become something of a Southern chauvinist. He believes that "Southerners are more willing to talk candidly about race and to identify bigotry as bigotry," and adds, "I have always found that a reconstructed white Southerner on matters of race is committed. It's not for show." Like Heard and Hackney, Cheek sees positive signs for education...
...just the "weird, transparent quality" Director Lewis Gilbert was looking for. That's why Barbara Bach, 27, a sometime actress in grade-B Italian movies like Spider with the Black Stomach, won her first starring role in the tenth James Bond film. Bach considers Bond "a male chauvinist pig who uses girls to shield him against bullets." But she rather likes her liberated-woman role in The Spy Who Loved Me: Anya, a major in the Soviet secret service. Actor Roger Moore, 48, sounds correct but cool about his new costar. "When they said B.B., I thought it would...
...history, the Paris Opera has probably boasted more foibles than any other company-and, given the vicissitudes of the average opera company, that is saying a lot.

In the 19th century, even a Wagner or a Verdi had to include a ballet in his opera or risk not getting it performed...
...manifestly clear that in order to liberate language from all manner of sexist bias [Aug. 9], it should become mandatory that authors and journalists maneuver carefully through our manifold English vocabulary in every way necessary to free the written word from the menial menace of chauvinist prefixes and suffixes. Hopefully, the East Coast editorial establishment will respond to this manifesto, especially those who live and work in Manhattan. If they do not, the only alternative left open to the people is a nationwide personcott of the press...
...performances were far from enough to impress diehard traditionalists like 1975 Indy Winner Bobby Unser. (By his own ordination, Unser is the chief chauvinist in Indianapolis this year; on his garage is a sign that reads MALE CHAUVINIST PIGS NEED LOVE TOO.) But her credentials were good enough to make independent Car Designer and Builder Rolla Vollstedt think that he had found what he wanted: a woman driver to add to his team, which is headed by Veteran Dick Simon...
