Rallying Support. This year supporters of the ERA predict a turnaround. Last fall's elections drastically changed the makeup of many state legislatures. They now contain about 28% more women and a majority of Democrats. Both of these groups-outside the South-tend to be pro-ERA.

Little else can be said of his first major screen appearance except that he is admirably limber. Castle is using him as a come-on for his movie, as if Marceau were a skeleton that glows or a hotwired seat...
