...worry that there will simply be less privacy. Last week, after New York City's Mayor John Lindsay signed a bill designed to open the city's public accommodations to women, a determined group of women's liberationists appeared at the door of McSorley's Old Ale House in the East Village. A delightful if grubby all-male sanctuary for 116 years, McSorley's was previously, as one aged regular said, "not the kind of place a nice girl would want to go to anyway." When the women appeared, rowdies booed and cursed ostentatiously, exhaling...
...Yale graduate, Jim is vice president of the family's Catawba Corp., a firm providing expertise for companies engaged in oil and mineral exploration. He first entered politics as campaign manager during Bill's quixotic run against Lindsay for the New York mayoralty in 1965. Bill recalls that when Jim accepted the Conservatives' senatorial nomination in 1968, "his knees were shaking as he read the prepared text.

Tough, honest and a veteran of years of political in-fighting in New York City, she believes that discrimination against women is so severe that "we have not even reached the level of tokenism...
...relinquish now traditional liberties associated with collective-bargaining and trade-unionism, by either organized or organizing working people. Next, every control measure (even partial ones) recommended in the months ahead, especially likely after the November elections, should be submitted to the following kind of test, using the New York Lindsay administration for illustration. Is the Mayor's current rent re-adjustment plan (netting an immediate 15-25 per cent rent increase) coherent with his parallel suggestions for wage and price controls? Is the Mayor willing to halve the price of housing in return for some freely agreed upon wage restraint...
