...radicals. At any rate, he succeeded to the throne at about 16 and set out to revolutionize the age-old system of multiple deities, substituting a single god, Aten, symbolized by the sun. In fact, he changed his own name to Akhenaten, meaning Useful to Aten. Women's Lib would have loved him: he gave equal billing, in bas-relief and statuary, to his Queen, Nefertiti. She was portrayed in the sleek drapery she might actually have worn, one shoulder bare, a clasp under her right breast. In dark red quartz, the Queen's torso, on loan from...
...Girl with Something Extra, E.S.P. is the coyly reconcilable difference between Newlyweds Sally Field (the former Flying Nun) and John Davidson. ABC's Adam's Rib, based on the 1949 Tracy and Hepburn film, claims to inject a touch of Women's Lib, with Blythe Danner and Ken Howard as a lady lawyer and her lawyer husband. Example of feminist viewpoint in first episode: to prove that men are allowed to pick up women while women who pick up men are presumed to be prostitutes, Danner gets herself arrested.

But Riggs, properly overaged and frivolous, came along at the confluence of two phenomena: the rise of Women's Lib and the country's need, more desperate than ever, to be entertained. Watergate, inflation, shortages-the catalogue of ills is dispiriting to contemplate. Some buffoonery and sex offer a welcome change. In Riggs the public (as well as television and the press, which get as tired of depressing news...
...ironies of the King-Evert rivalry that the younger woman has benefited heavily from King's zeal ous campaign for bigger purses and in creased recognition for women's ten nis. Yet Evert, a traditional type from a devoutly Catholic family, pooh-poohs Women's Lib and has criticized King's break from the male-dominated U.S.L.T.A. The cash, however, is nonideological. So far this year, Evert has won $70,050. With endorsement mon ey from Puritan and Wilson Sporting Goods, she figures to earn around $150,000. Most of the offers to lend her name...
