...industrial satellites police have been loath to venture off major arteries since Maoist Naxalites stabbed three of their colleagues to death in dark alleys as part of a deliberate campaign of terror. Heavy guard details have trailed diplomats in Montevideo since July, when Uruguay's Tupamaro guerrillas shed their Robin Hood image and wantonly murdered a political hostage. Canada was still tense following the brutal murder by fanatic Quebec separatists of a government official; a small band of terrorists, trying to blackmail the government, succeeded in frightening the entire country and forcing the suspension of some civil liberties...
...modern woman's "barely there" face. Houses are becoming sexless: they contain few leather club chairs or boudoir chairs-or even boudoirs.

Men have become no more human since its advent: according to many young women who have made that unenviable leap...
...argument. But it is precisely the broad sweep of that argument that renders it vulnerable. Millett is no scientist, and scientists, notably Social Anthropologist Lionel Tiger (see box), are quick to point out imperfections. "She's not looking for the truth, but making a case," says Rutgers Anthropologist Robin Fox. He says he is no misogynist, but, he charges, she's "inventing a new mythology to replace the old one . . . She's playing ducks and drakes with the truth, and in the process doing herself and her cause a disservice." Specifically, Fox says, Millett's theory that gender identity...
