...letter. He implied that we were merely the pawns of our high-powered, overzealous coaches who were fearful of Peck's affect on the recruiting of high school athletes. This is very convenient indeed for those who smell conspiracies behind any positive action contrary to The Crimson's liberal viewpoint, but unfortunately it is simply untrue. The group of forty athletes who signed the letter represent all intercollegiate athletes at Harvard, a larger group that strives for excellence and self-expression in a setting of competitiveness that intercollegiate athletics provides.

Said one congressional Democrat afterward: "This was a watershed. It's classic trickle-down economics. This guy doesn't want to do anything." Said G.O.P.

Like legislators elsewhere, some were impressed more by the viewpoint espoused in the road-show tactics of Phyllis Schlafly, an Alton, Ill., housewife and an active Republican, who wrote the right-wing treatise on Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential candidacy, A Choice Not an Echo. Wearing long, formal dresses, members of her "Stop ERA" brigades have descended on legislators, bearing gifts...
