...this sense, of course, Equal Times seems to fit more neatly into the confines of the so-called New Feminism than any other women's newspaper around Boston and Cambridge. My recommendation is to steer clear of it despite its appealing look and to stick to the old-style, combative feminism that doesn't fit into the U.S. status quo and values. And my guess is that the editors of Equal Times might do well by themselves and their paper to take a few mixed-income and mixed-race CR sessions. For the new breed of feminist among...
Munching pungent Polish sausage (heavy on the onion sauce) at a county fair, he can talk knowingly about the fine points of a champion steer because he has done some gentleman farming. In the predominantly Democratic Pittsburgh district that has elected him three times, Heinz, an Episcopalian, gets on well with blue-collar ethnic families. He de-emphasizes the G.O.P. label and tries to come across as an independent who cares enough about working-class problems to vote occasionally against Republican Administration positions. Two weeks ago, for instance, he voted to override President Ford's veto...
Since it was launched in 1973 by Reporter-turned-Lawyer Michael R. Levy, 30, Texas Monthly has taken on just about every sacred steer in the Lone Star State: college football, the Miss Texas Pageant, oil barons, the Texas Rangers, Dallas banks.

"If people want to write for money, they steer away from textbooks and concentrate on magazine articles. Royalties from academic books are inconsequential," Reischauer says...
Hatched in open sores on cattle, their screw-shaped larvae can literally eat their way through a live steer. For years, they were a major scourge of the cattle country in the U.S. Southwest. It was not until the 1960s that screwworm flies were brought under control by a cunning form of biological warfare. Millions of flies, bred in a factory in Mission, Texas, were irradiated with sterilizing doses of gamma rays and released into the wild. When sterile males mated with normal females, which make only one sexual contact during their two or three weeks of life, the unions...
