...quote a man if your restrictions of space must damage his idea? I refer to your piece about me in PEOPLE [Sept. 14]. I talked for five minutes in complex fashion about Women's Liberation. You pulled three unrelated sentences out of it. The ladies deserve to take over journalism...

Much of the explanation for the growth among us of intolerant attitudes and the acceptance of destructive styles of behavior which should be anathema in academic societies is undoubtedly to be found in such considerations...

Both countries now refer only to outbreaks of misleadingly labeled "summer diarrhea." Egyptian authorities have been equally ostrichlike. Fearful of disrupting their country's ailing tourist industry, they have refused to restrict travel and euphemistically describe as "summer disease" what one World Health Organization official estimates to be 3,000 current cases...
