The piece praises Odessa resident Mrs Hobbs 54 for tying yellow ribbons around her front yard to honor kidnapped Americans. It extols her persistent acts as a symbol of national hope spanning from Concord to Little Rock and Abe Lincoln, urging others to acknowledge her in this era.
The article argues that U S sanctions approved by House Senate conferees may help steer South Africa away from apartheid but will not compel change. It notes the limits of American power and outlines initial measures banning bank loans, nuclear cooperation, computer sales to apartheid agencies, and Krugerrand imports, with a tougher second phase planned.
Washington Post columnist Raspberry warns that Congress could escalate penalties if Pretoria does not dismantle apartheid. The proposed measures would halt preferential trade status and private finance, challenging white minority rule and risking a harsher economic pullback.
NOW columnist Lewis Grizzard recalls Atlanta's reception of the National Women's Political Caucus led by Gloria Steinem Sally Ride and Geraldine Ferraro. He notes 2000 attendees and quotes local feminists and observers while joking about male reactions and etiquette toward visiting activists.
