...would think that Kate Millett or Germaine Greer were feeding the gentlemen their lines. More than 300 earnest women-ranging from Black Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm to Writer Gloria Steinem to Betty Smith, former vice chairman of Wisconsin Republicans-met in Washington last week to form a National Women's Political Caucus. Its goal: to seek out and promote candidates of either sex, preferably women, who will work to eliminate "sexism, racism, violence and poverty." And what was the reaction in San Clemente? Discussing a newspaper photograph of four of the caucus leaders, Secretary of State William Rogers remarked that...
...hyperbole seems to have become its hallmark. "The majority of women drag along from day to day in an apathetic twilight," states Germaine Greer unequivocally in The Female Eunuch. She warns that "women have very little idea of how much men hate them." The draconian arbiter of Sexual Politics, Kate Millett, has mentioned the "envy or amusement" she noticed in certain men when Richard Speck murdered eight nurses...
FIRST there was Kate Millett-just a year ago. The Karl Marx of the New Feminism, they all said. She was bright (a professor, yet) and scholarly, but, the reviewers also said, she was too masculine.

For Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, the fourth full-length storybook ballet that Stuttgart is offering U.S. audiences, Cranko discards the whole Tchaikovsky opera score in favor of a graceful montage that helps make the ballet a romantic matinee...
...Royal Ballet School and later as a disconsolate member of the Marquis de Cuevas Ballet -weighed 138 pounds and was known as "the fat Brazilian." Today, at 100 pounds, she has an angular, spindly body that, in repose, sometimes suggests a Mary Poppins more than a Carmen or a Kate. But in motion she ranks among the world's top ballerinas. She is also, certainly, one of the world's most effective dramatic actresses, a master of body language who sometimes seems capable of reaching an audience's heart-or funnybone-simply by running barefoot through...
