She spoke millions of words at protest meetings and ground out countless appeals for help on an electric typewriter, the one modern appliance in the Sobells' drab Greenwich Village apartment. With friends who stood behind Sobell throughout his imprisonment, she spent roughly $1,000,000 on legal maneuvers, including seven fruitless pleas to the U.S. Supreme Court.

There may be legal difficulties requiring some kind of merger between Harvard and Radcliffe, and it is not clear whether sexually segregated housing can be or ought to be retained for those who prefer it.
