...often a scholarly one, of larger institutions and social arrangements. From Simone de Beauvoir's Second Sex to Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique to Kate Millett's Sexual Politics--a doctoral dissertation that became a national best seller--feminists made big, unambiguous demands of the world. They sought absolute equal rights and opportunities for women, a constitutional amendment to make it so, a chance to be compensated equally and to share the task of raising a family.

Before the U.S. grants any substantial economic relief to Russia [WORLD, June 8], that country should be compelled to make political and economic peace with its neighbors. Its financial woes are due in large part to its refusal to cooperate with former satellites and republics as equal partners.

Unlike black-power advocate Stokely Carmichael, who ousted him from the leadership of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in 1966, Lewis never abandoned his belief in a utopian "beloved community" in which all men and women are created equal regardless of their race. Unquestioning faith in that idea led Lewis from his family's sharecropper farm in Alabama to the front lines of the battle for racial justice during the 1960s; he never flinched as he suffered arrests and beatings during the lunch-counter sit-ins in Nashville, Tenn...
