...Women (N.O.W.), compliant "total women," housewives, antiabortionists. In a remarkable scene, three wives of Presidents-Rosalynn Carter, Betty Ford and Lady Bird Johnson-paid homage to the women's movement at the opening session as delegates waved handkerchiefs and colored balloons. Feminist celebrities included Conference Chairwoman Abzug, Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan and Susan B. Anthony II. On the other side of Houston, more than 15,000 women who opposed feminist goals gathered in a counterconference. Said Phyllis Schlafly, the Alton, Ill., housewife and law student who has become the spearhead of U.S. antifeminism: "If people really find out what...
There is one major gap in Dispatches: Herr never makes any attempt to examine the lives of the Vietnamese, never relates any interviews, never gauges the extent to which they supported the South Vietnamese government. Unlike, say, Gloria Emerson, who recently published Winners and Losers, he is interested in how Americans were fighting it, what it was like for the U.S. soldiers whose experiences were so warped by the vocabulary of the public relations people.

Complained San Jose Vice Muyor Susanne Wilson: "We don't have real politics. It is not the politics of individuals but of institutions that men have created." Said Gloria Steinem: "Women are beginning to get very cynical about this. It isn't a crisis of the women's movement. It's a crisis of democracy...
...Angeles salesman in the rape of a 23-year-old waitress-hitchhiker. To help explain the decision, Justice Lynn Compton wrote that a woman who enters a stranger's car "advertises that she has less concern for the consequences than the average female." In response, Attorney Gloria Allred, a National Organization for Women coordinator, claimed the judge was ignoring "the fact that rape is an act of violence, not of sex." University of Southern California Law Professor Stephen Morse called Compton's remarks "victim-blaming, the excusing of an appalling lack of self-control in what is seen...
