...sexes, that easy friendliness and naturalness that unisex advocates always confidently predict. Dartmouth women feel alternately belittled and beleaguered. Says one young woman, class of '79: "You have to learn in the first few weeks of being here how to say no without feeling guilty about it." Dartmouth men, especially jocks and fraternity men-the latter also only 30% of the student population-frankly lament the change. "What's wrong with four years without women?" a fraternity boy asks. Just lately the faculty has stirred a certain amount of rage and despair in many a Big Green breast...

Daley recovered and rewarded Byrne by making her his co-chairman of the powerful Cook County Democratic central committee. She had no illusion of really sharing power with Daley and knew he was mainly meeting national Democratic pressure to upgrade the role of women. But those "little men" at city hall resented her and when Daley died in late 1976, they knocked...
...Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini is likely to be anti-Communist as well as antiWestern, and nonaligned in a true sense. Jim Bill, one of the few Americans who know well some of the people around the Ayatullah, ticked off a list of several who are American-educated, basically conservative, and men the U.S. could deal with to help get Iran's oil flowing again to the West...
