It took only about ten seconds of Web searching to learn that the innocuously named _Women's Quarterly_ is a mouthpiece for the hiliariously named Independent Women's Forum--read all about 'em at http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A25123-2001Apr30 "The group was formed in 1992 by Republican women angered by the testimony of Anita Hill at confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and the prominent role played by the National Organization for Women and other feminist groups. Today, the Women's Forum has become a favored venue for conservative scholars, writers and policymakers to trade ideas and showcase their latest work on women's issues. The forum's reach inside the new administration exceeds the group's modest size. "Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao is on its national advisory board. Linda Chavez, President Bush's first nominee for the Labor job, also is on the advisory board. Lynne V. Cheney, wife of the vice president, is a former member of its board of directors who is now listed as a member-emerita." > This seems to be a publication that is comprised of mostly > ideological rhetoric with pretenses of passing itself of as an > academic quarterly. Maybe we TIPSters should offer to serve as a scientific peer-review board. Surely the staff will appreciate that. --David --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
