...seems now. Some of those who have weathered the torrential fads of the last decade wonder if the New Woman's movement may not be merely another sociological entertainment that will subside presently, like student riots, leaving Mother, if not Gloria Steinem, home to stir the pudding on the stove while Norman Mailer rushes off to cover the next moon shot...

...ways, it was strangely beautiful. Even now, if you look beyond the gray tangle of freeways, past the checkered patterns of tract houses, through the brown veil of smog even now, some of the beauty remains.

...years, U.S. Presidents could imagine few worse political nightmares than having to ask Congress to devalue the dollar. Any such act was certain to stir up a chorus of accusations that the U.S. was acquiescing to a devastating loss of international power. Yet, when the Nixon Administration last week submitted to Congress the Par Value Modification bill, which will devalue the dollar 8.57% by raising the price of gold, its prospects for relatively swift passage were all but certain.
