Sexism is their target and battle cry -as racism is the blacks'. They regard 20th century America as a rigid, male-dominated society which, deliberately or more often unconsciously, perpetuates arrant inequities between men and women-in pay, kinds of jobs and, more subtly, self-expression. Women, they say, are constantly put down by the ads that ask "Does she ... or doesn't she?" or proclaim "You've come a long way, baby," because, of all things, she has supposedly got her own cigarette. The militants abhor Playboy as well as most women's magazines, which...
Many of the new feminists are surprisingly violent in mood, and seem to be trying, in fact, to repel other women rather than attract them. Hundreds of young girls are learning karate, tossing oft furious statements about "male chauvinists," distributing threatening handouts ("Watch out! You may meet a real castrating female!"), and even citing with approval the dictum of the late revolutionary Frantz Fanon: An oppressed individual cannot feel liberated until he kills one of the oppressors.

There will be fist-fights at the Loeb this week; nasty words and name calling; walkouts galore. Something is happening over there, and that something should not be missed...
...characters! Front men for the operation were a pair of homosexuals named Fernand Legros and Réal Lessard. Legros, a French-Egyptian given to wearing snug suits lined in red silk, jetted around the world with his counterfeit wares while maintaining a lavish Paris apartment and an all-male harem. Legros's partner, Lessard, was a young Canadian with a handsome, honest face. On the road he was a cool con man too, but back home he became the frightened victim of Legros's infidelities and rages...
