...most distinctive qualities is her relish for a good fight. A conservative with such influential friends as J. Edgar Hoover and Arkansas' Senator John McClellan, Frances Knight has left in her wake a trail of smoking Congressmen and State Department administrators. They call her the "ogress," and it has been suggested that she used to leak State Department information to Senator Joe McCarthy-a charge she firmly denies. In her most celebrated battle, she faced down Abba Schwartz, the liberal head of the State Department's Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs. Schwartz, in an effort to ease...
...King are not the same thing at all. B.B.'s place in today's music is inviolable but categorically narrow; Ike and Tina's act is a continuously evolving blend of elements old and new, black and white, musical and visual.

On the Acropolis, it was hard to distinguish the statues by sex. Says Winick: "Hermes and Aphrodite have the same boyishly slender body, girlishly fine arms, and sexually undifferentiated expression...
...Chicanos, drugs, astrology, and just about everything else. Ideologically independent of any single faction of the Left, the LNS served to foster the notion that there was still such a thing as The Movement, a popular misconception which led to Chicago's Yippie hysteria and the subsequent Chicago conspiracy trail. Its founders never fooled themselves about that piece of fiction, realizing that their alleged movement of astrology freaks, SDSers, Trotskvites, blacks, students, pacifists, and so forth, had little in common, aside from their general disgust with America. And they eventually learned about factionalism first-hand when their own organization fell...
