...very easy for President Carter to denounce human rights violations in the Soviet Union and the Communist bloc. However, the time will come when the President will have to focus his wrath on violations by U.S. allies, specifically the Philippines and South Korea. Will the threat of losing U.S. bases in these countries deter President Carter's crusade? I hope...
...this a threat to détente? Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who makes his first visit to Moscow this month as Secretary of State, did not think so. "Détente does exist today," he told a press conference in Washington last week, "and I believe and hope it will continue."

Nobody ever knows exactly what game Idi Amin is playing. Practically everybody, however, agrees that his threat to the Americans was designed to divert attention from the murders last month of Ugandan Archbishop Janani Luwum and two Cabinet ministers, and from the continuing massacre of Christian Ugandans.

...submissive. One is involuntary. But if I do something because I want to, because it gives joy, I'm not being manipulative at all. It's a struggle to submit, but it's worth it. I don't know why Total Woman should be a threat to feminists. I'm for women's liberation in that it opens up more options. But marriage and children is also an option. When I share with other women what happened to me, I give them hope...
