Susan B. Anthony, the celebrated suffragist (1820-1906), is the front runner, but Amelia Earhart is closing fast, well ahead of Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Fanny Farmer, Grandma Moses, Martha Mitchell, Sara Lee, Anita Bryant, Shirley Temple and Whistler's Mother. All are candidates in a campaign to put a woman's face on a dollar coin that the Government plans to issue, probably in mid-1979. Since word became known of the plan, the Treasury has been receiving 700 to 800 nominations...
...extraordinary present, for sure. The Smithsonian, otherwise known as "the nation's attic," has created a paean to the daring imaginations of the Wright brothers, Goddard, Lindbergh, Rickenbacker, Sikorsky, Earhart, Douglas and Lockheed's Johnson. The scene stealers are located in three giant bays (each 124 ft. by 115 ft. by 62 ft. high). In the main entrance bay-the Milestones of Flight Gallery-are the Wrights' Kitty Hawk Flyer, the first aircraft to achieve manned, powered flight, and the Spirit of St. Louis, in which Charles Lindbergh, need anyone be reminded, flew the Atlantic solo...

Even the cheerleading Boston press has become exasperated with this bunch: Globe columnist Bob Ryan in a recent evaluation of the team that drew much are from the more reverent fans, wrote that relievers Regger Cleveland and Diego Segin should be placed in a small airplane with Amelia Earhart at the controls, a comment that, for all its validity, led two players to bodily attack Ryan the next time he dared show his face in the locker room. They were fined. Other pitchers include Rogelio Moret, tall, skinny, last and independable; and Rick Wise, a fastball pitcher with...
Learning, learning all the time are brother and sister Warren Beatty, 37, and Shirley MacLaine, 40. Shirley has just finished a book of selfdiscovery, which took place mostly during her 1973 trip to China with eleven other women. Now she plans to play Amelia Earhart in a movie. But before getting down to work, she stopped by to see a Manhattan screening of Warren's latest film, Shampoo, a comedy about a hairdresser's sex life. In it he claims "to challenge the assumption that a hypersexual character -a Don Juan-is acting out of anger or misogynist...
