...like a trip to hog heaven. And the crowd is a big part of the show: part upscale, part down-home. Tuxedoed yuppies mix gingerly with the + rip-his-eyes-out! regulars. Andy Warhol shows up to pronounce, "It's hip. It's exciting. It's America." Gloria Steinem stops by to snort, of woman- mauling Roddy Piper, "He certainly is unfit to wear a skirt." Geraldine Ferraro apostrophizes, "Roddy Piper, why don't you come out and fight like a man?" Meanwhile, each month at the Garden, 20,000 souls who wouldn't be caught dead at a Jane...

After papers publicized 254 of the "deadbeat dads," 30 of them were located. Says Allred: "To paraphrase Gloria Steinem, 'You have to perform an outrageous act or rebellion every...
...Fifty is what 40 used to be." That may be news to mathematicians, but it seemed to make perfect sense to Gloria Steinem and the 900 or so people gathered at New York City's Waldorf-Astoria hotel last week for the Ms. magazine editor's semicentennial birthday party. The feminist fete featured speeches and songs by such liberati as Mario Thomas, Bella Abzug, Bette Midler, Sally Ride and Shirley MacLaine, who wished the birthday girl "success and happiness in all your future lives." Ride, for her part, recalled that her mother, after watching Sally rocket away...
