To prove it, Bergen, 31, joined Gloria Steinem and other members of the National Women's Political Caucus last week at a fund raiser for the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA, she told the audience, assures women in the U.S. "only the fundamental human rights." As for Italian women: "They've [just] gone from basic black to blue jeans and marching, from...
...knowledge of Gaelic. He regularly mocked those nationalists and bicycling anthropologists who made the preservation of Gaelic a sacred mission. In The Poor Mouth (1941) a long tale written in the old language, O'Brien shows a linguist from Dublin religiously transcribing the grunts of a western Irish pig. Flann even joked about the impulse that led him to learn his native tongue: "Having nothing to say, I thought at the time that it was important to revive a distant language in which absolutely nothing could be said."

...advertising salesman for the Boston Globe, likes to prepare huge, rich meals for his family and friends. But, he maintains, "it's pure recreation. It's a great outlet for my energy and, besides, we're very gregarious." One recent feast for ten chez Flaherty featured roast suckling pig, stuffed goose, boiled lobsters, marinated mushrooms and Karen Flaherty's raspberry bombe and walnut cake...
...more than they can handle. As the self-confident superjock who leads the expedition, Burt Reynolds actually gets to act--something he hasn't done since, even in the much-touted but disappointing "Semi-Tough. Jon Voigt and Ned Beatty are also excellent. (The latter's "squeal like a pig" scene is a memorably gruesome portrayal of humiliation.) The film has a great deal of violence, and a long, agonizing sequence in which Voight tortuously scales the face of a cliff. But ultimately, "Deliverance" is most upsetting in its suggestion that civilized man has lost his primitive self-sufficiency. James...
