...contest will end Feb. 8, when the union's members cast ballots in 5,360 U.S.W. local halls in the U.S. and Canada. Officials of the U.S. Department of Labor will tally the vote in Pittsburgh and announce the winner. That falls short of Sadlowski's demand that the Government run the election outright to guard against fraud. His fear of chicanery is understandable; in 1973 he ran for the job of U.S.W. district director in Chicago and Gary and was originally declared the loser. But under Government supervision the election was rerun and Sadlowski...
Back home, Super Bowl mania takes even stranger forms. Boston Political Journalist Richard Gaines will be one of the few on the telephone during the game. (Long-distance calls dropped 50% in Pittsburgh last year while the Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys.) Gaines watches the contest alone, but exchanges opinions via phone with a select coterie of fellow Super Bowl junkies. Says Gaines: "I always know exactly what plays will make the phone ring and who will be on the line." His Super Bowl record: all three hours on long distance...
...switching to a three linemen-four linebackers defense to compensate, and ably led his troops through an emotionally trying barrage of accusations: Oakland spent much of the fall under a cloud of charges of dirty play. It began in the season's opening game, when Safetyman George Atkinson decked Pittsburgh Receiver Lynn Swann, leaving Swann with a concussion.

...even the final surge could help Pittsburgh shopkeepers, whose business was curtailed 30% by a transit strike in early December. Downtown sales there finished the season 6% below last year. At the other extreme was New York's Tiffany & Co., which did not stay open Sundays and bucked the pattern of Gimbels, Macy's, Korvette's and other retailing giants. Sales were up 16% over last Christmas. Gloated Chairman Walter Moving: "Obviously Sunday sales have not been very successful because they have taken away from sales during the week...
Hence the great interest of an exhibition that opened just before Christmas at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and will travel in 1977 to Austin, Pittsburgh and New York City. Entitled "Women Artists: 1550-1950," it is the first full-dress historical survey of its subject ever made. The organizers are two distinguished scholars, Ann Sutherland Harris and Linda Nochlin. Their catalogue is the fundamental text on its subject. Professor Nochlin's essay alone, with its dense research and propulsive common sense, provides the right antidote to the tendentious stomp-the-pigs puffery of more militant feminist...
