...Mesta. Ethel Scull, a sort of pop Perle Mesta in New York circles, last week threw a fund-raising Women's Lib party at her East Hampton estate. Half of the guests were reporters or photographers. Representative Patsy Mink, a heroine of the movement since she took on one doctor's argument that women are too hormonally unstable for positions of power, was scheduled to speak, but fled without a word.

She begins a passionate "sex thing" with a surly, sarcastic, sadistic writer who taunts her and lusts after her with equal ferocity. After...
...wife and three children ahead of his work. "At Tally," he said, "we take the position that a guy who works a 60-hour week is just plain inefficient, unorganized, or out of balance at home. We give him demerits for it, not merits. I quit that sort of thing years...
