...Florida's senate. Like legislators elsewhere, some were impressed more by the viewpoint espoused in the road-show tactics of Phyllis Schlafly, an Alton, Ill., housewife and an active Republican, who wrote the right-wing treatise on Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential candidacy, A Choice Not an Echo. Wearing long, formal dresses, members of her "Stop ERA" brigades have descended on legislators, bearing gifts of homemade bread "from the breadmakers to the breadwinners." Says Schlafly: "Women already enjoy superior rights." Her followers agree so strongly that they announced a boycott of Girl Scout cookies after the national Girl...
This week "Ren Cen" celebrates its official dedication-though hammers and drills still echo through many of the project's cavernous passages. The 73-story Detroit Plaza Hotel has only three-quarters of its 1,400 rooms ready for occupancy. A reflective-glass cylinder, the hotel has an eight-story atrium lobby with a central pond and curved balconies-all standard elements of the style of Portman.* Few shops and restaurants have opened their doors, since the 350,-000-sq.-ft., tri-level mall housing most of them is still under construction. Ren Cen's four 39-story...
These words, spoken last week by Frank Press, echo statements that he has been making for nearly two decades as an adviser to Government agencies on subjects ranging from space missions to earthquake prediction.

...last August a Soviet Echo Il-class submarine cruising almost submerged trailed a slowly steaming American frigate, the U.S.S. Voge, for nearly an hour. Suddenly, the sub turned straight toward the Voge and sped up sharply. The American sailors, who photographed the sub as it charged toward them, waited for it to turn away. But it kept coming. Moving fast-about 17 knots-the sub slammed into the left quarter of the Voge, bounced off, then wallowed in the frigate's wake. The Voge limped off with one injured crewman and a gashed hull. The sub, with damage visible...
While many of Mrs. Gandhi's Cow Belt gatherings have been thin and lethargic, rallies for the Janata (People's) Party-the first unified opposition to confront the Congress Party in a national election-have been packed with attentive crowds. The speakers generally echo the line of Jayaprakash Narayan, 74, the respected conscience of the opposition, who notes that this may be India's "last chance to vote for democracy." Opposition campaigners are careful to attack Mrs. Gandhi with ridicule and sarcasm rather than abuse. When supporters of Jagjivan Ram at one rally shouted "Death to Indira...
