...without men, the musk of female superiority is heavy indeed. The children grow strong, tough and alert. Organic rye bread rises on every page, along with wheat germ, Granola and currents. Sex with another woman seems a sure cure for repression. Beth learns "to love with her body, to express with her body, to know with her body." There are trackless acres of such prose. It is all enough to give lesbianism a bad name-and vegetarianism too. ∎Martha Duffy
...people trooped by the millions to cast their votes," marveled Manila's Daily Express. "They had an enthusiasm that had not been seen in previous elections." Indeed, the 91% support for a referendum that gives President Ferdinand Marcos nearly unlimited power was almost miraculous in the fractious Philippines. Or it would have been, except for the fact that 1) the penalty for not voting was up to six months in prison; 2) most people were afraid that if they voted no they would go to jail; and 3) a high government official, with rare if somewhat cynical candor, admitted...
Newspapers, and radio and television stations, many of them former victims of Batista's censorship, were simply expropriated.

"Cambridge Dances", choreographed by Bill Evans, and "Journeys", by Martha Armstrong Gray, were more fluid than the other works, but too abstract. At times, in both of these dances, Gray would suddenly shiver and limp, but even this never gave more than ripples to an overly calm surface...
...likes to lick the dew off the steel track. Or when a yellow-eyed dingo, Australia's coyote, will stand its ground and stare sourly at the train while a spindly-legged emu, the local version of an ostrich, will try to outrun the 3,300-h.p. diesel express...
