Restic's always-intricate game plan was tossed out the press box window last week in the face of Ms. Nature's indiscretions, but a week of good work at Soldiers Field has produced another one which promises greater effectiveness against a tough Big Green outfit...
...dastardly purposes. Two ace journalists-an irreverent newspaperman (Peter Fonda) and an anxious, abrasive broadcaster (Blythe Danner) -trace down the truth to the very bowels of Delos itself.

They admit that social attitudes cannot be changed overnight simply by inventing words. But even such terms as "Ms" and "chairperson" they insist, really do help meet needs created by the growing independence and authority of women. Many people (not all of them men) would rather scrape their fingernails across a blackboard than hear such ugly and artificial neologisms especially when they are propounded on the unproved assumption that it will...
