...thinks that early woman struck "the risky bargain" of accepting domination by a single male to prevent wholesale rape, thus leading to a rudimentary mate-protectorate and then to patriarchy. Women became property, acquired either through raiding other tribes or purchasing a daughter from a father in one's own tribe. Rape entered the law as a property crime. Brownmiller insists that to this day the law treats rape primarily as a violation of male rights of possession. Today rape is aggression against the female's "owner" as well as a reminder of male dominance...
With most of the world's shipping industry struggling to keep afloat, one of its captains is getting along swimmingly. Millionaire Shipowner Stavros Niarchos, 66, has welcomed a new deck-mate aboard his luxury yacht. She is Pia Giancaro, 30, a still-aspiring actress whose credits include such best forgotten films as The Red Woman Kills Seven Times and When Men Were Armed with Clubs.

In any case. Ephron's journalistic method of casting herself prominently as the flat-chested reluctant tomboy who wonders what all those beautiful women are complaining about, as the wallflower at the orgy (the title of her previous book), and most often, as the little...
...radio broadcaster; in St. Johns, Antigua. As a military expert for the Associated Press during World War II, Beatty accurately predicted both Hitler's assault on Russia and the successful Soviet resistance. Later, he reported Roosevelt's choice of Harry Truman as his 1944 running mate before even Tru- man knew about it. But his biggest scoop was never broadcast: sailing home from the 1945 Potsdam Conference on a naval vessel with Truman, Beatty guessed that an atomic bomb was to be dropped on Hiroshima when Truman interrupted a poker game to confer with an aide and point...
