...Beatles, who were beloved by all, and the Rolling Stones, who were even then playing devil's advocate in the Beatles' bright shadow. The Who made its first American appearance in 1965. Two years later, back again, the group was supporting Herman's Hermits on tour, giving those coy little gnomes nightly musical lumps and attracting a loyal band of American supporters...
...Diane Keaton has to get stoned before sex in Annie Hall; this is just a joke (like her family).

Even in the most encrusted industries, chief executives like Bethlehem Steel's Lewis Foy, Equitable Life's Coy Eklund, Du Font's Irving Shapiro and many others are telling their troops to find and hire and promote women. Resistance persists down in the middle-management trenches, but it is crumbling...
