...deal. Three women have made Woman of the Year [Sept. 7] in 45 years (Madame Chiang Kaishek, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Elizabeth II), all ridiculous choices. When you pass over females like Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Chase Smith, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Edith Green, etc., for nonproductive females whose contributions to society have been nil or destructive, it completely shows a typical male's lack of thought...

Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad angrily declared that the U.S. peace initiative was "dead...

Washington's heavy pressure on Israel to accept the cease-fire and its slowness in admitting that the agreement was almost immediately violated by the Egyptians have deeply shaken Israeli confidence in their most important ally. Said an official: "Golda wanted to establish a personal rapport with Nixon, to be sure they could have a meeting of the minds...
