...intervention ignore the reality of the situation--which has already been modified by foreign aid to Angolan factions--and the impact of Western financial aid which is not likely to cease with a non-intervention pact. South Africa--the major threat to Angolan sovereignty--has already shown a flagrant disregard for international agreements in its refusal to relinquish its U.N. trusteeship of Namibia.

Nebraska and Tennessee have voted to rescind their earlier approval, though the legal status of their action is dubious. Congress has the authority to disregard such votes and has done so once in the past. Still, both sides in the ERA struggle expect the issue to reach the Supreme Court. The victorious anti-ERA forces in New York and New Jersey are already gearing up for campaigns to revoke ratification. More important, some feminists...
