  6. Women's advances in our world: • “Critics of feminist action groups say there is little left for them to do, now that market forces have just about equal- ized the status of women with that of men. Statistics show that: • The number of female senior vice presidents in the business world has increased 75 percent in the past decade. • Women now earn 98 percent as much as men -- after taking into account such factors as family status, education, profession and the number of hours worked. • The number of businesses owned by women is growing faster than the national economy. • Women are now earning more college degrees than men and outnumber them in graduate schools. • Many women now in the business mainstream have little or no interest in activist groups such as the National Organization for Women. N.O.W. pursued largely left-of-center political and social agendas in the past, but critics say its goals have now become irrelevant.” (Source: Dr. Sally Satel [Independent Women's Forum], "NOW's Time Is Past," Wall Street Journal, July 11, 1997, via http://www.ncpa.org/pd/affirm/july97a.html)

  13. "MEN" “One of the greatest needs is men! Men who are bigger than trifles; men with the breadth of intellect and depth of character; men who will not stoop to cheat or be unfair; men who will not stand imperiously on their rights, but who in magnanimity of soul cast away personal advantage for the good of many; men who will not lie, and defame, and steal to increase their own personal fame or fortune; men who would rather stand with the right in the end than to have their own way; men who love the truth and are willing to die for it rather than to compromise with false- hood; men who act upon principle in all their dealings with their fellow men rather than personal feelings whether of bias or prejudice; men with clean hearts and pure motives; men who feel neither envy nor jealousy when one of superior endowments and greater ability surpasses what they have been able to achieve; men who are not too big to be satisfied to fill the place in the world for which they were created and fitted by the benign creator who made every man for a definite place in His infinite universe of time and space and sense.” (A. Hugh Clark)
