There is nothing pastel or pale about Gloria Allred. From her jet-black hair to her brilliant red lipstick to her usual attire of electric purple or Chinese-red dresses, she is as brightly colored as her name suggests. But there is a lot more to this Los Angeles attorney than vivid packaging. By adroitly combining showy tactics and solid scholarship, Allred over the past ten years has become one of the nation's most effective advocates of family rights and feminist causes. Declares Allred: "The law should be a sword and shield against the wrongs that women...
...Ferraro was unique in ways both small and large. She was doubtless the only serious contender for Vice President ever to have been presented with a wrist corsage before speaking at a fund-raising dinner (she firmly declined to wear it), or to have had to apologize for the lipstick smears left on babies held up for campaign busses.

...Israel's current needs. We [must use more Israeli products.] Even if our girls paint themselves with Israeli-made lipstick our boys will still fall in love with them. I guarantee it. We are not a frivolous or corrupt society, we are a fighting democracy. We spent too much on luxuries, I do not deny it. But your support of Israel is not support for a spoiled child. Back in 1974 we got almost the same $2.6 billion in U.S. aid as in 1984. But over the past decade, the price of a fighter jet has gone from...
