Vance's presentation did not satisfy everyone on the House committee that the Administration's diplomacy was on track, but it did impress upon them Vance's quiet re-emergence as the man Carter wants to be out front as articulator of American foreign policy. The impression was heightened the following day when Vance, at Carter's request, presented a major formulation of America's African policy at the 58th annual meeting of the Jaycees in Atlantic City...
...wind of a late-spring chill bites through Philadelphia's Franklin Field, but it cannot dull the excitement of the moment. For the first time in the 84-year history of the Penn Relays, the world's largest and oldest meet of its kind, an afternoon of women's track and field competition is scheduled. The infield shimmers with color, a kaleidoscope of uniforms and warmup suits.

The development of other pro leagues is just a matter of time and the promotion of audiences willing to pay to watch women play...
...centerpiece of side one is, of course, the title track 'Some Girls.' Sugar Blue's magnificent harp gives way to Jagger's ironic and at times obscene catalogue of women. His stance is that of a complete misogynist defending his case. In an interview with Jonathan Cott in Rolling Stone, Jagger insisted that "Some Girls" is a joke and not a statement of anti-feminism. It's hard to read anything else but anti-feminism into a line like, "some girls take the shirt off my back and leave me with a lethal dose," but it's also hard...
