...Immense Pride. Under Secretary of State Walter Bedell Smith, summoned to Capitol Hill from Foggy Bottom, made a terse appearance, crunching out his answers as decisively as he stumped out his cigarettes. Roy Cohn, he said, had come to him to ask help about getting a direct commission for Schine, but not with the Central Intelligence Agency, because the CIA "was too juicy a subject for investigation . . ."

Grey-haired oldsters in kimonos and obis, bobbed-haired college girls in sweaters and skirts, aggressive feminists in slacks, gabbled enthusiastically and glared in frosty disdain at the few men present. They pointed with pride to some of the advances gained by their sex since the constitution: divorce, women's suffrage, the acceptance of women in an ever expanding range of jobs (as legislators, police officers, taxi drivers, even judges), increased coeducation, the spread of women's clubs, and a general increased freedom...
