BARBARA JORDANby Christine Davis
Cicely Tyson, under the direction of her longtime friend
and teacher, Vinnette Carroll, brings her astounding acting
ability to Eugene O'Neill's "Desire Under the Elms,"
playing in Lake Forest, Illinois, for the summer.
An accelerated U.S. cheese production coupled with a
recent increase in imported cheeses has produced a surplus
that, if used properly, may overflow into the school food
programs and help give U.S. schoolchildren a more
adequate protein intake.
Along with her compatriots Patricia Harris, Barbara Walters,
Billie Jean King and other outstanding women, Dorothy

How does Nancy Kissinger manage to travel the world
and still keep her job with the Commission on Critical
Choices for America: "My boss, Nelson Rockefeller,
doesn't nag," she said. "You could go to the Arctic
and write your report while riding a dogsled, as long
as you get it done."
Film r 'hts to the Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong story were
purcl ed by Paramount Pictures. Serving as technical
adviser, Armstrong's widow, Lucille, will share profits.
"Women generally don't speak up in a coed classroom,"
says Edward Eddy, president of Pittsburgh's Chatham
College. "They're afraid that if their questions are good
they will appear too intellectual. So they sit in silence
while the men ask the dumb questions."
Data from a Federal Nutrition Survey indicates that
if income is constant through the developmental years,
American children of African descent are fatter babies than
American infants of European descent.
Yvonne Burke (D-Calif.) appeals to women to take some
responsibility and get involved. She says, "That's the only
way you're going to have any impact on your children
and their future. If the young mother turns her back on
participation in our system, then someone else will move in
who has other goals and other reasons for being involved."
Congresswomen Barbara Jordan (D-Tex.) and Martha
Griffith (D-Mich.) recently introduced legislation to
provide Social Security coverage for homemakers. The
new measure "will recognize homemaker services as a
valuable contribution to the nation's economy." Let's not
forget a man can be a homemaker, too.
