First sentence: THE IMAGES ARE BURNED into the American psyche, shown on the evening news and emblazoned on the front page of newspapers: Angry white parents on school grounds and at school board meetings protest the busing of their children to achieve racial balance; right-to-life protesters, often brandishing pictures of a partially formed fetus, picket a clinic and loudly urge women to reconsider the decision to abort their pregnancies; a male denounces a company's decision to promote a woman he considers less qualified or less experienced to the position he sought.
