...being bare-knuckled and sharp-clawed. And there is far more in us than the stories of women who don't see each other before science exams suggest.

It seems impossible for us to imagine that we would allow that to happen to ourselves; already we cringe at the mention of the term "Radcliffe bitch."

Even this capacity may erode over time if it does not relate to experiences and problems that recur in the student's later life...
...national anthem, that song has been under fire since the War of 1812. At the Mexico City Olympics, black athletes greeted it with a Black Power salute. In Munich, the mode was elaborate indifference. Last week The Star-Spangled Banner was again the center of a brief, ludicrous controversy at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden. There, the director of the U.S. Olympic Invitational Track Meet announced that it would not be played at the event. Thereupon the Garden switchboard lit up like a scoreboard.
