...viewers in all 50 states were watching it to pick out famous faces. But then one of the 100 decided to run for Governor of New York. To compound the problem, the camera had paused momentarily on former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg. Because of the FCC's equal time provisions, the commercial has been playing lately in only 49 states. New Yorkers will get to see it again, however. A new version, made at a cost of $4,000 and minus Goldberg, will be back on their tubes this week...

Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Elizabeth Blackwell, our Elizabeth Agassiz-who struggled courageously for suffrage, for womanly dignity, for an education and training for girls which would be equal to that of boys. At Harvard University, in America, in the world, woman's position is widely recognized to be inferior. Women have learned to despise themselves. Resources, opportunities and honors available to men are denied to women . . . Not yet can we lay down our weapons, my sisters, nor must we abandon so long and difficult a battle. Everywhere...
