...NWPC's line on men has been in flux since the Houston convention. Elective strategy has rotated on the question of whether or not to support male candidates. The original thrust of caucus policy was to get women into political office. The caucus decided that if a woman were running against a man, and the caucus could in in good conscience bank the women, it would under no circumstances back...
...griping. First she was wooed to TV at a series of high-powered executive lunches with CBS Vice President Gordon Manning (who was transferred to another job at CBS shortly after the Quinn fiasco and is now an executive producer for NBC). Then she claims to have been thrust on the screen with almost no coaching, no voice lessons and hardly a word from Morning News Producer Lee Townsend about the technical details of broadcasting.

Directed at a problem of this intensity and scope, Ford's message was generally devoid of optimistic promises.

After a pampered, precocious childhood filled with adoring sisters, gothic novels and the promise of an inherited baronetcy, Shelley was thrust into a Dickensian boarding school. At Eton, his refusal to kowtow to senior students earned him the nickname "Mad Shelley." There followed University College, Oxford, which gratefully expelled young Percy Bysshe, after a scant six months, for writing a broadside on atheism...
