Acquisitors Carl Icahn and Sir James Goldsmith were also on the prowl last week. Goldsmith, who controls Grand Union supermarkets and France's L'Express magazine, formally offered more than $800 million for up to 70% of Crown Zellerbach, a forest products company that has been fighting off the interloper since December. The day after the Goldsmith proposal, Icahn said he would pay $305 million for 51% of Uni-royal, a tire and chemical manufacturer, which immediately spurned the deal. The moves were only the latest in an increasingly frenzied round of takeover brawls and mergers. Last month Capital Cities...
...Nofziger notes, in a wry reference to Democrat Geraldine Ferraro's groundbreaking 1984 bid for the job, "It wouldn't be the first time a woman had been nominated for Vice President."

Says Judy Goldsmith, president of the National Organization for Women: "The Memphis decision has had very little effect because it did not attack the philosophy of affirmative action." A few weeks after Stotts, for instance, a federal judge ordered the city of Detroit to rehire 1,000 (mostly black) police officers, many of whom...
...activists on both sides of the abortion controversy think Reagan's statements have created a momentum of their own. Said Ray Kranz, a South Dakota farmer who traveled to the march in Washington by bus: "Reagan has helped us out a lot. He's been an inspiration." Judy Goldsmith, president of the pro-choice National Organization for Women, expressed concern that "the President could send us back to the time when women risked their lives to be able to determine what happened with their bodies...
