...Church of England doesn't want women priests [Nov. 20] because the men are afraid they'll lose their jobs. Women in England who seek the priesthood should drop the rhetoric and address the issue: job discrimination.

...organization waging a battle it could not lose, the D.T.A. fought remarkably hard. Using a network of 36 offices, 425 field workers, 21 armed guards, 132 vehicles and ten mobile TV units, the party staged some 500 rallies and spent an estimated $5.5 million, which is a lot of money, since Namibia has only 412,000 eligible voters.

To be sure that makeup will withstand long wear, Revlon sometimes requires a woman to sit for hours in a room where the temperature is 90° F. and the humidity 100%; windshield wipers...
...Kalcheim's comedy has the stock political characters: a smooth-talking campaign manager with infinitely expandable ethics; a cynical speechwriter; a pretty, blonde volunteer; a hardboiled, right-wing Congressman; and the idiot senatorial candidate. Add to that mix the candidate's wife, who wants her husband to lose and does everything she can to make sure he does, like publicly demanding a divorce...
