...older women, and some girls who feel conflict with their religious or ethical upbringing, find the experience psychologically scarring. Cindy, 17 and single, felt exhilarated immediately after her abortion.

Total Recall. Heyerdahl takes an awfully long time putting out to sea. But once he gets launched, his account of the Ra voyage is persuasively faithful to the cresting good cheer and alternately sinking heart of all travelers in the tradition of Odysseus. On one page he can call his ship a golden paper swan, and on another, a floating haystack.

...salute and cheer the Irish Women's Liberation group [June 7]. These women have challenged the last of Ireland's cruel oppressors: the church. The day has finally arrived when at least some Irishwomen are no longer accepting the clergy's teaching that they must bear any number of children, even though they may not be able to feed or clothe them...
