...points of view kill one another off so that no action is taken in this session. The second point of view is the one that would provide unrestricted grants of money to institutions on the basis of some formula, which is usually expressed--as it has been by Edith Green of the House Committee--as a certain number of dollars per student enrolled...
Shortly after the war, Honecker married Edith Baumann, an old-line Communist official, three years his senior. In 1953, he divorced her and took as his wife Margot Feist, then 20, a beautiful and talented youth leader from Halle. Appointed Minister of Education in 1963, she helped turn East Germany's schools into model institutions; many West Germans readily concede that education is one area where the Communist half of Germany has outperformed their own part of the country.

Because of such attitudes, medicine is a practical career only for women with great determination-and understanding families.

In voice and accent she is often quite heart-wrenching, and although her biggest numbers occasionally shade off into the histrionic...
...deal. Three women have made Woman of the Year [Sept. 7] in 45 years (Madame Chiang Kaishek, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Elizabeth II), all ridiculous choices. When you pass over females like Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Chase Smith, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Edith Green, etc., for nonproductive females whose contributions to society have been nil or destructive, it completely shows a typical male's lack of thought...
