...Garden of Eden, wasn't considered at the time to be anything to demonstrate against. "It didn't occur to anybody to feel excluded from anything," Johnston says. No one can remember any tradition of feminism that might have been associated with a women's college, or any trace of solidarity as women in a male atmosphere. "There was no sense of being interested in the rights of women or of being somehow deprived." Hess, now a coordinator of the National Organization of Women,4CrimsonPaul E. Donahue...

Snob's bible, they call it-the envious ones. For those of us who can trace our lineage back to Ethelred the Unready, it's-well, it's sort of a-er -bible. Meaning no disrespect, padre. Since the Empire's gone to the demnition bowwows, there's just so few items of permanence. And now damme if Burke's itself...
