...take: last week's haul included eight place settings of gold-plated flatware for $39.95 (original price: $110), a man's fake suede car coat for $6 (originally $25), four pairs of lined, imported gloves at $5 each (originally $16), and a framed painting of a Spanish warrior for $14.95 (once close to $50). "A good shopper needs only one to two hours to case the place," says Mrs. Conroy. "Longer than that and you begin to get headaches...
...More Fun and Games: A Journal of Female Liberation, an informal collection of essays that was published last February, addresses itself specifically to women who feel they are oppressed. Its authors, Roxanne Dunbar, Dana Rensmore, and Betsy Warrior, seem to be exhorting a loyal army rather than trying to persuade new women or the general public. Their language, often desperate and obscurely telegraphic, is reminiscent of communications between comrades under fire...
Only a few articles hint at the meaning of female liberation. Betsy Warrior, in "Man as an Obsolete Life Form." by condemning man (not the species) for his aggressive, destructive tendencies, implies that the "female principle" (peacefulness, non-competitiveness) is what she values.

This article shows most clearly where the Journal's "female liberation" diverges from radicalism-and how its "female liberation" ulfimately is individualistic and moral, rather than political...
...figures chiseled out of Etruscan boulders include a 19-ft.-high elephant crushing a warrior in its trunk, a giant dismembering a man, a goddess with each pubic hair clearly delineated, and a 20-ft. satanic head whose mouth opens into a large chamber. These overwhelming creations are 50 miles north of Rome. It is known only that they were carved between 1555 and 1585 at the command of Duke Pier Francesco Orsini...
