...Guarantee. The Avedon show is highly personal and varied. It includes a 1949 portrait only 8 in. square of a smiling, unshaven, squinting Frank Lloyd Wright, a gigantic group portrait of the Chicago Seven, and a photo of a heavily made-up transvestite with a ballerina's tutu and a hairy chest...
...young revolutionary soldiers who look like hillbillies in front of an Ali Baba cave that still spews diverse riches and gadgets from an essentially American and Japanese consumer society. Drab, in uniform without decorations or grade, shod in rubber-thonged sandals, they are visibly astonished by these elegant, made-up young women, by these people their age astride Hondas.

...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. At her trial the next day, the barely mussed carefully made-up liberated lady is so stupefied by her night in jail that she is unable to open her mouth, whereupon hubby gallantly wins the case for her. Sic transit Gloria Steinem...
