...women's movement faces the much more complex, challenging and drawn-out task of turning at least some of its propositions into reality. Said Bella Abzug, presiding officer of the conference: "We are in the second stage, of action and political power." As delegates streamed home from the conference, they seemed to reinforce Abzug's message. Confirmed in their confidence, women vowed to place their interests on the political stage as never before. So, of course, did their more conservative opponents, who also returned home determined to speak out further...
Some were borne to center stage for the first time, including the woman on TIME'S cover, Peggy Kokernot, 25, a Houston physical education teacher and marathon runner. Along with other women athletes, she had been called on to make up for lost time when the symbolic, 2,612-mile torch relay that preceded the conference began to lag so far behind schedule there was fear the convention would outpace its torch. She was then placed in the group that ran the bronze torch into the opening session, and her own ambition says much about why there was a women...
...singles and booming Boz Scaggs squarely into the Top 40 spotlight. His concerts, never before especially noteworthy, were suddenly sellouts.

At a concert earlier this year at Symphony Hall, Martin wanted to give his audience their money's worth and offered to show them "something you don't see every day." At that point he began to jump up and down and scream like a depraved lunatic...
...Smith. We don't see Jock too much during the play, but when we do he is always doing things that good jocks are supposed to do, such as drink massive quantities of beer, "hump chicks," and sap off other people's notebooks. JC wanders around the stage perpetually stoned--his first words in the play come when he lumbers into the room for the first time and sees Stan and Jim and their unpacked mess: "Oh wow, man." A contrast to the freshman goofies is provided by Jim Propp, who depicts Stan's older pre-med brother, Abe. Propp...
