THERE ARE SAVING graces to Ms. It does credit its readership with having brains. A section in each issue ("Gazette") printed on newsprint rather than glossy paper, deals with issues of legislative and judicial reform as they relate to women all over the country.

...realm of journalism. We don't expect certainty from sociologists looking backwards, much less journalists trying to augur the future. Notwithstanding, the Editors pretend to even more exaggerated heights of hortatory hyperbole, theorizing about "journalistic counterpoint," and dreaming of historians of the twenty-first century leafing through yellowing newsprint searching for these poignant vignettes that will crystallize the sixties and seventies...
