Most, of course, including strong-minded feminists, will agree that the first bunches of women, bra-less, in baggy pants and shirts, toting signs and pleading for sexual equality presented a somewhat unappealing image. But, consider that practically everyone back then, men too, was dressing in "proletarian garb." It just became fashionable to not wash your clothes, because who cared what we looked like? There was a cause to fight for. Women realized they no longer had to totter around in spike heels and in pants so tight they couldn't breathe--they realized they did not wish...
...hope in the year 2000 women still wear clothes like this," says Actress Carol Lynley about her boudoir garb. Alas, they don't, at least in Lynley's latest film, The Shape of Things to Come, based on H.G. Wells' science-fiction thriller.

For a few hours at a time then, the President heard only the rush of clear water, the muffled voices of family and friends, and the quiet language of trees and animals in a wilderness.

...prominent involvement in the history of his country during the Perón era and did not know Evita. Why Rice has included him is a mystery, since the writer seems to know little about him.
