...much as breathes the word lesbian at her, she goes to pieces." During the 1970 Women's Strike for Equality that marked the 50th anniversary of women's suffrage, the issue of lesbianism burst into the open. Some feminist leaders, warned that the participation of lesbians would overshadow other issues, tried to downplay the controversial subject during the marches and rallies.

Dwight Eisenhower nearly made it to Japan in 1960, but massive demonstrations by anti-American students in Tokyo forced Ike to turn back.
