        Recently there has been a lot of talk about women's rights.  Some     
        people feel that women should have an equal role with men in running  
        business, industry, and government. Others feel that women's place is 
        in the home.

        For all years, this var has been built from placements of Democratic  
        and Republican House candidates.  SEE VCF9097, VCF9102.               
                                                                              
        The 1982 dataset included 2 sets of contact vars for 2 running        
        incumbents due to redistricting in two congressional districts (19    
        cases affected).  For this year, the incumbent who represented R's    
        sampling location BEFORE the 1982 redistricting has been considered   
        R's 'incumbent' for Cumulative Data File definition.  The other       
        candidate, the incumbent previously representing another Congressional
        district (i.e., not previously representing the district of R's sample
        location) has been considered the 'challenger' to the running         
        incumbent.  See notes VCF0902 describing congressional districts      
        affectedand designation of candidates as  "the incumbent" and "the    
        challenger" in these cases.
