...feminine fisticuffs. The scene is handled perfectly by Ross, as the two friends suddenly dissolve into laughter when they mutually realize the absurd spectacle they are making of themselves. The crisp repartee of Arthur Laurents' script is at its sharpest throughout the bitter exchanges of stored jealousy and rancor, and their final reconciliation ends the film on a suitably touching note...
...ended a 2,612-mile feminine relay that began last September in Seneca Falls, N.Y., where a doughty band of suffragettes had held the first national women's conference in 1848. And so began-with hoopla, bombast, some unsisterly rancor and, overall, deadly serious intentions-the largest political conference of women ever assembled in the country. The nearly 2,000 delegates and more than 12,000 observers who later jammed Sam Houston Coliseum for the three-day National Women's Conference provided some answers to Freud's vexing question: What does a woman want...
...Jordan and Lance debated the matter for two days through meals and tennis matches, Jordan found the subject less painful than he had expected.

A negotiated settlement must take into account certain justifiable protests on both sides. One look at the shops that pack the breathtaking cliffs gives a convincing argument for the whites' concern for conservation...
Though the U.N. conference featured an Arab-led walkout during the Israeli delegate's Negev report and other outbursts of rudeness and rancor, the Nairobi proceedings made some encouraging progress. Scientists presented many carefully prepared technical analyses of desertification and ways to combat it. The U.S. pitched in with an offer to train a cadre of 1,000 Peace Corps volunteers for antidesertification work. Before the delegates disband this week, they are expected to adopt a 15-point plan that calls for a worldwide effort against the deserts' encroachment with everything from the planting of new vegetation...
