...group demanded support from Françoise Giroud, State Secretary for Women's Affairs, and even from President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.

"Why should we be considered marginal members of society?" demanded Ulla, a comely mid-20s blonde who was declared spokesperson for the group.

How Banks Fall (great name) and more. Three bucks...

Sputtering production has already left 800,000 members of France's volatile work force without jobs, and unions are increasing their pressure on the government to ease its restrictive policies.
