...other woman," Karen Traynor, is played masterfully by WASP phenomenon Meryl Streep. A lawyer whose civil rights organization gives Tynan information which can destroy a supposedly racist Supreme Court nominee, Traynor bears the oft-mentioned aphrodisiac of power: as Tynan makes the move on Traynor in his private office, he whispers, "I think I'm infatuated with you...

The U.S., for instance, sent only 109 athletes, of whom only eight are top-ranked in their event.

Admits Karen Mulhauser, executive director of the National Abortion Rights Action League: "After the Supreme Court decision, a lot of our groups on the state level folded up. Our people went on to ERA, environmental problems and the like. We relaxed, and the other side began to organize." Based in Washington, her group is spending about $1 million this year in a drive to raise funds, expand its field operations and enlarge membership beyond the present 65,000.
