...Davis, but said that race could be an element in the university's admissions policy. In last year's Weber de -cision, the court upheld a quota in a private company's employee training program. Left unresolved, however, was the fundamental constitutional question: Does the "equal protection of the laws" guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment flatly prohibit government affirmative-action programs? In last week's case, six Justices said no. They upheld a 1977 congressional law that specified that out of $4 billion that the Government proposed to spend in helping states and localities finance public...
There have occasionally been stories about the younger Reagans, and occasionally embarrassments. Oldest Daughter Maureen, 39, sometimes gets headlines for her ardent support of the Equal Rights Amendment, which Reagan just as ardently opposes.

She maintains that "these paintings were equal in achievement and sophistication to any work being done by the key figures of the European avant-garde." But to the less zealous eye, the show proves almost the reverse. Even Haskell concedes that well before he left for Europe, Hartley had developed a style that was distinctively...
...magnitude of the piece strikes home before the message filters through. In the middle of a dark, black-shrouded room, an enormous triangular table rests on a raised triangular platform. (The triangle, an ancient symbol of feminine power, also expresses the feminist goal of an equal society for all, men and women alike.) The three wings of the table hold place settings for 39 women, from the females of early mythology to the women who inhabit the twentieth century, from the Primordial Goddess to Georgia O'Keefe...
