Perhaps. Patty, 21, is on trial for her part in the S.L.A.'s April 1974 robbery of $10,600 from a Hibernia Bank branch in San Francisco. In his effort to convict her of armed bank robbery?which carries a sentence of up to 25 years???Prosecutor James Browning, 42, plans to prove that she was there willingly. In response, Bailey will try to convince Patty's mostly middle-class jury of five men and seven women, only five with children of their own, that she took part in the holdup only because she had in effect been brainwashed...
...they were before. Across the broad range of American life, from suburban tract houses to state legislatures, from church pulpits to Army barracks, women's lives are profoundly changing, and with them, the traditional relationships between the sexes. Few women are unaffected, few are thinking as they did ten years???or even a couple of years???ago. America has not entirely repealed the Code of Hammurabi (woman as male property), but enough U.S. women have so deliberately taken possession of their lives that the event is spiritually equivalent to the discovery of a new continent. Says Critic Elizabeth Janeway...
Betty Ford's "pillow talk"?lobbying her husband to name a woman to the Cabinet for the first time in 23 years???was one reason that Carla Hills, 41, became Secretary of Housing and Urban Development last March. As soon as the former Assistant Attorney General moved over to HUD, she began shaking up the bureaucracy with a speed and decisiveness that dazzled staff aides long used to a more lethargic pace. She found, for instance, that a rent-subsidy program for some 200,000 families had fallen so disastrously behind schedule that not a single family had been...
...very best, however, the State Department reckons that OPEC would not break up for another two to four years???and probably not even then. It has not been at all damaged by a world oil surplus of one to two million bbl. a day, which has shown up because high prices reduced consumption last year. In the non-Communist world, consumption fell from 48 million bbl. a day in 1973 to 46.5 million bbl. last year; in the U.S., it declined from 17 million bbl. to 16.2 million bbl. Partly hi response, OPEC is now producing at 20% below capacity...
Regardless of the questions that would haunt the U.S. for years???whether this kind of peace could have been achieved earlier, whether all the violence, the death, the deviousness of the last four years were ultimately worth it?he had accomplished the American exit from Viet Nam. He had not achieved the terms he had originally proclaimed, but the U.S. was out and Thieu was still in office in Saigon...
