...women trained?and disillusioned?in the radical movements of the '60s, NOW seemed slightly middleaged, middle-class and tame. They formed protest groups in their own, often bizarre styles. Among them are BITCH (for nothing). WITCH (Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell), Bread and Roses (long a feminist slogan, suggesting that women wanted not only flowers but bread?wages?as well), Redstockings, the Radical Mothers, and Media Women.

Exceptionally outspoken, she advocates dropping all abortion laws and shifting the emphasis on crime from penalties to rehabilitative centers for drug addicts and drunks. Her slogan: "Indiana needs a woman in the House...
...consigned "chick" to outer darkness; say "sister" or holler uncle. Even "like"-as in "like you know how it is, man"-is on the blacklist. So is "man," for that matter. And the angry protester who still cries "Right on" risks being right off; the old Black Panther slogan has been co-opted by the straight Establishment. In May, New York's flossy Bergdorf Goodman used it in advertising copy. Some current hiplingua favorites...
