...Roman general once said he could live without a friend but not without an enemy. The same assertion could be made about the women's movement, which won just enough concessions in the 1960s and '70s to induce a sense of complacency. A new generation of college-educated women, having never witnessed a female Phi Beta Kappa being told to make the coffee, considered radical feminism as outdated as Gloria Steinem's aviator glasses. By the presidential campaign of 1988, George Bush could flirt with the idea of recriminalizing abortion, knowing the women's movement was not strong enough...
...even possible to be wet and hip at the same time. In Manhattan's East Village, best explored with a bodyguard, the trendies dine at Cave Canem, a converted Turkish bathhouse serving a Roman feast, where the dance floor abuts a 7-ft. by 9-ft. pool.

But last week all that was swept aside with a long-awaited, historic announcement. Resuming a "noble tradition of many centuries," the Holy See and Poland have re-established diplomatic relations, declared the official church communique, delicately omitting mention of less-than-noble events during the protracted ecclesiastical cold war with the nation's leaders that began...
...sound basis in law and common sense. "When a physician starts owning embryos and making decisions for his patients," says Marrs, co-founder of Good Samaritan's Institute for Reproductive Research, "there'll be no stopping anyone who has anything to do with pregnancy from getting involved." The Roman Catholic Church, in company with many conservative Protestant groups, opposes all in vitro fertilization. Nonetheless, the Yorks have received moral support in their suit from the Right to Life League of Southern California. "Howard Jones has no rights in this matter," says president Susan Carpenter McMillan. "He's playing...
