...rudder and ran aground off the Brittany coast of France on the night of March 16, 1978, the result was history's biggest oil-tanker spill as well as the most costly maritime accident ever. The $15 million ship and its $24 million cargo of Middle Eastern crude were lost in the icy waters. In addition, the 68 million gal. of oil created a slick 18 miles wide and 80 miles long and polluted 130 miles of the scenic French coast, raising the cries of environmentalists around the world. Last week a federal district judge in Chicago ruled that...
...first paragraph of the HJLSA letter, after reciting recent (and we might add tragic) attacks against Israeli citizens, concluded with a statement to the effect that the teach-in appeared to be designed "to show support for these terrorist acts." To call this a crude attempt at innuendo would be a gross under-statement.

On one level, of course the newsletter was a joke (crude though it was). Yet one cannot help but sense that the basis of such joking lies in something concrete, in the images of women that are continuously reinforced by advertising, books, television, movies and the media in general. The "crime" of which Pi members are guilty is to passively accept...
...HARVARD COMMUNITY has acted with justifiable anger and swiftness to the crude sexism exhibited in a newsletter put out to members of the Pi Eta Speakers Club. The letter--which referred to women as "grateful heffers" [sic] and "slobbering bovines," among other degrading terms--aroused a heated protest outside the club Saturday night by nearly 100 men and women students...
