...Yellow Rose of Texas, a bronze torch made its final lap in front of Houston's Albert Thomas Convention Center late last week in the strong hands of Tennis Star Billie Jean King. She was greeted by some 2,000 determined women chanting "ERA! ERA!"-for the Equal Rights Amendment. Puffed New York City's hefty Bella Abzug, who trotted the last stretch with Billie Jean: "We are here running for equality. We'll never run for cover on this journey...
...State in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, takes the Carer Administration to task for scattering its shots in southern Africa. Given the complexity of the problem, Ball argued in a recent issue of the Atlantic, the U.S. should press toward fixed, attainable goals: an end to petty apartheid, equal pay for nonwhites, steps toward multiracialism.

Coming to pay tribute to the Creator, the pilgrim is no longer a subject...

Costello proves here that his singing is equal to the trickiest tempo and the rawest lyrics; his guitar playing is a wonder, a crashing solo in the best '50s tradition. "I'm Not Angry" gives further evidence of his instrumental strength; here too the guitar work is excellent, searing and fluid in a more contemporary style. It's a truly...
