...outrageous at worst. Students attempting to register have been confronted with a whole series of arbitrary requirements. The success of an individual's attempt to register depends upon a grab bag of variables--the time of day, length of hair, clothing, smell--and a set of ever-changing semi-legal questions which may or may not be asked by an individual registrar. Conflicting reasons are often given for refusals to register...

Grand Admiral Karl Donitz, 80, who is well remembered for his short-lived stint as Chief of State in Germany after Adolf Hitler's death, is not happy about his place in history.

Maine's Margaret Chase Smith is the sole female Senator, and there are only eleven women compared with 422 men, in what New York Congresswoman Bella Abzug has derisively called the House of Semi-Representatives (she was also referring to its small number of young people and members of minority groups). In appointive positions, the record is even worse: women hold only 1.5% of the 3,796 top federal jobs. As a promising first step, the National Women's Political Caucus has already...
