...intrigued by the historic events and people captured by that panoply. But I noticed how few women appeared on the covers you selected. Out of 89 covers, there were eight featuring identifiable women. "Let's see," we could tell our daughters, "you could be a glamorous sex symbol (Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Madonna or 'All-American Model' Cheryl Tiegs), a 'Living Saint' (Mother Teresa), an outlaw (the fictional Thelma or Louise) or a princess (Diana, of course)." Thank goodness for Jackie Joyner-Kersee. BARBARA HEALY SMITH Milton, Mass...
DIED. JEAN LOUIS, 89, Oscar-winning designer whose fluid fashions draped Hollywood's most mythic figures; in Palm Springs, California. Louis's rapport with his leading ladies (Marilyn Monroe reportedly introduced herself by disrobing) inspired such creations as Rita Hayworth's come-hither black satin gown in Gilda and the sequined formfitting dress that Monroe wore to serenade birthday boy (and President) John Kennedy...
...taken the opposite trajectory. We run from Donna Reed. We couldn't work in the 1950s. We had to be stay-at-home moms.

The union federation's No. 1 target in the whole country was Arizona's John David Hayworth Jr., who is outsize in other ways also (he is 6 ft. 5 in. and 285 lb., with a voice and swagger to match). J.D., as he loves to be called, fired back by denouncing the "union bosses" for trying to buy the election for Phoenix lawyer Steve Owens, whom...
...waged a $35 million campaign against vulnerable GOP freshmen and the Republican positions on Medicare, education and the minimum wage. At the top of the union's target list is Arizona's 6th District, which stretches from the Phoenix suburbs north to the Utah border. Representative J.D. Hayworth, a former college football player and sportscaster, is locked in a tight race with Steve Owens, a former aide to then Senator Al Gore. The AFL-CIO has spent nearly $2 million on a television advertising blitz and organizing a grassroots campaign against Hayworth, who voted against a minimum wage increase...
