...women teaching the course discussed their sexuality in a way I'd never heard before," Wendy C. Sanford, who started attending about six months later, says. "I was amazed." Sanford says she heard about the session from a friend at a time when she was suffering severe post-partum depression--"something I didn't know existed before I started taking the course," she says...
...Robinson Rojas Sanford makes clear in The Murder of Allende, the weakness of Allende's political power was trivial compared to the threat of military rebellion. The Chilean armed forces, whose function until then had been to deter an unlikely Peruvian invasion and to suppress internal dissent, clearly held veto power over the Popular Unity government. But Allende, though imprisoned by these restrictions, refused to acknowledge them, speaking as though socialism had taken hold in Chile.

...influential of the TV breed. Not since Disney has a single showman invaded the screen and the national imagination with such a collection of memorable characters.

...political spectrum from conservative to moderate to very liberal: California's Ronald Reagan, Alabama's George Wallace, Georgia's Jimmy Carter, Arizona's Morris Udall, Oklahoma's Fred Harris and, until they dropped out, Texas' Lloyd Bentsen and North Carolina's Terry Sanford. After the 1980 census, if the current population shifts continue, the states of the South and West will increase their total congressional representation from 210 to 225 seats. The states of the Northeast and Midwest will lose 15 of their seats, declining to 210. Yet the old Southern conservatism...
