...been taught at an early age never to cross a picket line and the lesson having stuck. I wondered for a spell whether a New York City teacher ought to adhere to this rule, but then sat back and proceeded to enjoy the prospect of not attending classes-in contrast to Harvard-per-usual, where I failed to attend them but got depressed about it. As the next logical step. I began to absorb the issues of the strike-ROTC. Afro-American Studies, expansion-and could see nothing objectionable and a lot of good in the positions staked...

A big Saturday night at the Agnews' consists of Judy cooking spaghetti and the family...
...friends describe Esther, 26, as sophisticated, reasonably chic and tough-minded. "In contrast to some of the other girls in the office," recalls one of Robert Kennedy's former aides, "she gave the impression of having something else in her life besides working for Robert Kennedy. For some of the younger girls, that was all there was." Esther's mother is a former Democratic National Committeewoman from Connecticut.
