Sabbath Combat. Despite the current interest in Orthodoxy's various shades, many Jews resent its exclusiveness. Indeed, Reform Rabbi Alvin H. Reines, of Cincinnati's Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, turns the tables and regretfully excludes Orthodoxy from his concept of Judaism. Reines contends that there is no single entity describable as Judaism, but rather a variety of Judaisms over the ages, each fashioned to its time.

...Himself. Many democratic-minded Greeks resent the open U.S. support of the Papadopoulos dictatorship. Last month Washington gave further evidence of its acceptance of his regime by negotiating for home-port rights in the bays near Athens for the Mediterranean-based Sixth Fleet.

Others were more blindly biased. "I don't think female doctors have any feelings at all," said one, and another epitomized prejudice with the statement "I hate them...
...starts the course with an exercise in which she solicits secrets from the students. The resulting list becomes the basis for discussion: "I resent always having to stop what I'm doing to take care of my baby," and "I'm scared to death of men." The members soon realize that their frustrations and insecurities are common to many women. The next week they are ready for a session based on such works as Robin Morgan's anthology, Sisterhood Is Powerful, or Anne Koedt's interview with a lesbian, "Can Women Love Women...
