Sweden's scholarly King Gustaf VI Adolf is 89 years old and still rich in the esteem of his subjects. So when a constitutional commission announced a plan to strip the throne of its few remaining political powers, it also announced that there would be no change until the accession of 26-year-old Crown Prince Carl Gustaf Folke Hubertus Bernadotte. No longer head of the armed forces, no longer charged with resolving Cabinet crises, the future King will rattle around in a 700-room palace, having little to do except entertain dignitaries and pass out Nobel Prizes...
...tung both say there is only one China. We are not in the position to contest that; we must follow what they say."

But then we were really fighting for respect. Nobody can give respect--you gotta prove respect, get back in the public esteem. I still remember when the strike was called--half past four in the morning on February 4, 1968. Sure, I thought '68 could be negotiated, but they wouldn't give on just $25 more. Lindsay didn't know, nobody knew, what would happen when the sanitation workers went on strike...
...made Rosie the Riveter a figure of folklore, and many women never before in the work force found that they liked the independence gained by working. The postwar reaction was the "togetherness" syndrome of the Eisenhower era, a doomed attempt to confer on suburban motherhood something of the esteem that pioneer women once enjoyed. From the affluent housewife's suicidal despair in J.D. Salinger's "Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut," it was not far to The Feminine Mystique...
