This belief that a serious exploration of women's studies will have broad-reaching effects on all scholarship was expressed in a report by the Future Committee of the Radcliffe Alumni Association. According to Mary L. Manson '50, who heads the association, the report, released in November of 1980, urged a "radical approach, going to the root of what is wrong with academic disciplines.

Charles Manson peers in at the window. Linda Kasabian, the star prosecution witness against Manson, recruited Didion at one point to go to I. Magnin in Beverly Hills and buy her a dress for court: "Size 9 Petite. Mini but not extremely mini. In velvet if possible." Didion and Roman Polanski turn out to be godparents to the same child...
