...Luce, the revival has already been an exercise in déjà vu. Though she, like many younger women in the women's movement, sees the play almost as a tract for Women's Lib, the out-of-town critics, like their predecessors a generation ago, were shocked that a woman could say such spiteful things about other women. "They just do not like to think that there could ever have existed this particular streak in women," she says with a laugh. "It is most chivalrous of them. But what annoys me just a little is that...
...ever-boring Julie Andrews Hour, a visual Sominex that seemed to put most viewers to sleep. (Julie will, however, come back for six hours of specials.) A couple of with-it comedies were added: Mr. and Ms., a story about two married lawyers with a Women's Lib touch, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, a sanitized TV version of the racy 1969 movie. Thursday night will be given over entirely to fast action, with Kung Fu and The Streets of San Francisco, two current series, and TOMA, which will star Tony Musante as a cop who "relies...
...House has, I am sure, confirmed not only in my mind but also in the minds of many other Americans the fact that we do not need Jane Fonda.

Fed up with rising food prices, outraged by advice from various Washington officials to eat fish, eat cheese, or just eat less, thousands of women took to the streets in protest. In scores of cities and towns, they demonstrated, paraded, picketed, pamphleteered and badgered politicians. They cut down their purchases of meat, pledged meatless Tuesdays and Thursdays and, in an all-out boycott planned for this week, threatened to buy no steaks, chops, roasts or hamburger at all. In riposte, some farm leaders...
...blacks are hostile to Women's Lib. Some black members of NOW generally agree with Florynce Kennedy's argument that "it's the same gig wherever you are. Whether you're fighting for Women's Liberation or just black liberation, you're fighting the same enemies." The editors of Essence are even more feminist in outlook. "There will be no positive change for any of us," they declared not long ago, "until certain basic institutions of our society are changed. Which is all the more reason why the black woman can ill afford...
