Despite the scope and maturity of the movement?and in some ways, because of it???women suffered a number of setbacks in 1975. The organized women's movement fell into factional disputes. The National Organization for Women designated Oct. 29 as "Alice Doesn't" Day and called on women to stage a no-work strike; it was a spectacular failure. Betty Friedan, a godmother of feminism, joined twelve other current and former NOW members in a splinter group called Womensurge, arguing
...less than impartial account, Agee's main function for the CIA was to recruit agents in Latin America. In nearly every case, he says, the lure was money. He describes the CIA method of snaring an agent: "You start out by giving him money for his organization?lots of it???knowing that he will eventually take some for himself.

If every wrongdoer deserved unlimited mercy, police could not arrest murderers, district attorneys could not prosecute slumlords, and ombudsmen like Ralph Nader could not attack the shoddy practices of Industry...
...justice ?and the country?have been served by giving Nixon a pardon. The American people deserve to know the entire story of Watergate. They do not know it yet, and the person who is in the best position to tell them?because he has the fullest knowledge of it???is Richard Nixon. If he had been brought to court, Nixon would have been under intense political pressure to divulge the full truth under oath. His degree of guilt or innocence would have been established by the law, and any claims that he had been hounded from office would have...
