...Radcliffe students may not have been working in sweatshops but they were dealing with another sort of discrimination. Women students were deriving what benefits they could from a Harvard education in classes and living quarters completely separate from those of the male Harvard students, taught by professors who only deigned to teach women in return for an extra salary. Today, there is surface equality--Radcliffe women live in the same Houses, attend the same classes, and recently have been admitted on the same basis as Harvard men. However, the women on the Committee for Women's Studies...
Lazonick said URPE has had an "immense influence" at Harvard in past years, though "things have sort of settled down." He said past URPE efforts are largely responsible for the presence of the two Marxist professors in the Economics department...
...odds still are that the T.U.C. and the government will succeed in hammering out some sort of agreement, if only to prevent the political calamity of an open breakdown of the social contract.

There she became May Queen, having...
...best, the rearing of children is a fascinating and rewarding occupation. But at worst, the mopping up of spilled food and the changing of diapers are menial labor of the lowest sort, dirty, boring, wearying and endless. The housewife gets no salary, no promotions, no titles, no formal evidence that the maintenance of family life is, as Jimmy Carter said in his Inaugural Address, "the basis of our society." The only thing that makes it bearable is constant reassurance that the best does go along with the worst, but the housewife has never had too much of that reassurance...
