...back up the starting five, the Bullets have a deep and able bench. Says Hayes, "You must have that dimension to win." Reserve Guard Jimmy Jones, a six-time All-Star in the rival A.B.A., and second-year Forward Nick Weatherspoon, a member of last year's All-Rookie team, provide that dimension...
Andelin is not the only woman preaching a potent antifeminist message rooted in conservative Christian teachings. Her most popular rival is Marabel Morgan, 37, of Miami, a housewife and mother of two. Morgan's book, The Total Woman, released quietly in late 1973 by Fleming H.

The Journal has run stories on how to press a Social Security black-lung claim; it has also uncovered and documented conflicts of interest by the general counsel of a rival organization, the Southern Labor Union. Last year it defied a taboo and printed the complete list of the U.M.W.'s contract demands for the membership before the union began its bargaining sessions with the coal operators.
