...gauntlet of talk and come out, like all of the other left wing happenings, a safer, milder mannered form of the real thing. The kids would come home starving and the mother would tell them to leave her alone, she was now liberated. Or she would hire an extra maid to set her even freer. For this, A Doll's House was just liberated enough...
...gesture and detail that Director Makk has worked into the modest fabric of his story. An old lady (Lili Darvas), nearly 100 and dying with dignity and resignation from the kind of fatigue that cannot be diagnosed or reversed, lies all day in her bed, tended by a maid and by her daughter-in-law Luca (Mari Torocsik).

In some major urban centers, however, butchers refuse to handle precut meat. They insist on keeping the jobs for themselves, despite higher costs for consumers...
Some blacks charge that white feminists have already shown evidence of unconscious racism. Althea Scott, a Los Angeles radiology technician who tries to work with feminists to "keep a dialogue going," nevertheless demands to know "how a liberated woman can rush to a meeting leaving her black maid at home to look after the children, get there and look around and ask, 'But where are all our black sisters?' " Editor Lewis sees the Women's Lib movement as nothing more than "a family quarrel between white women and white men." She cautions that outsiders who interfere...
