...Wyoming, Correspondent Austin was reporting for our Sport section on another outdoor activity - rodeo. Yearning to participate, he settled for a chance to display his equestrian skills on a horse named Dusty.

During the 23 years that President Ford lived in suburban Alexandria, Va., he kept a listed telephone number in an attempt to be available to his constituents. When Ford became Vice President nine months ago, he reluctantly took an unlisted number, and last February his old number was passed on to David Taylor, a postal worker, and his wife Alicia.

...backrooms of power by the male gatekeepers with a watchful eye on Title IX, E.R.A., affirmative action, and all those other impending legal nuisances. And, grateful for their charity, we have learned to walk softly, and to check our big sticks at the door. We tread with our fear kept quietly under wraps--unsure at every juncture if we can fight, and hoping to God we don't have to. For many of us there is a recurring sense of powerlessness--the same powerlessness we feel when we walk down a street at night, knowing that if we reach...
