there, “I like the small town
atmosphere,” she said. “I’ve
lived here for 11 years and I
know a lot of people.”
Childs, who recently was di
vorced, calls the superwoman
image of women today ridicu
lous. She said a married and
working woman still has the ma
jor responsibilities of caring for
the children and home.
“You are really talking about
a lot of stress,” she said. “I think
a woman must be incredibly
organized to get all that done.”
Ravey, 36, radiates energy
and enthusiasm about her work.
She is one of the few women in
the commercial printing busi
ness in Texas.
Ravey has operated the print
ing center for four years. Pre
viously, it was a federally funded
urban planning center owned by
two Texas A&M professors.
Ravey worked as the bookkeep
er and the professors did much
of their own printing to cut
down on expenses. But, she ex
plained, they sold the printing
side of their business to her
when urban planning funds
were cut.
She said most women are in
volved in the copy business
rather than commercial print
ing. “It’s traditionally been a
man’s role,” she said. “I’m not
sure why. But, I guess partly be
cause it’s just a dirty business.”
Her husband, Rick, is a local
architect. And, she said, he
travels with her on business
trips. “One of the funniest
things,” she said, “is when I go to
shows to buy equipment and the
salesmen always turn to Rick.
And he says, ‘I think it’s terrific,
but this lady over here has the

Ravey and her husband have
three children. She admits the
hardest thing for her is juggling
family and work.

President John F. Kennedy
secretly taped more than 600
White House conversations with
advisers, world figures and
members of his family, the Ken
nedy Library’s director said
Thursday.
Daniel H. Fenn said library
staffers in Boston have spent six
years listening to and transcrib
ing 100 to 150 hours of record
ings — tapes that reportedly in
clude Kennedy’s talks with such
figures as Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur and Adlai Stevenson, as
well as his wife, Jacqueline, and
brothers Edward and Robert.
A recording system was first
used in July 1962 and was de
signed so no one else in the room
knew of the taping, Fenn said.
Evelyn Lincoln, Kennedy’s
personal secretary, said Ken
nedy had a switch in his office
that activated a red light at her
desk — the signal that told her to
turn on the recording system.
If the light went on when the
president was on the phone, she
was to turn on a system hooked
up to the telephone. If the light
went on when Kennedy was in
the Cabinet room or Oval
Office, she was to turn on a sys
tem that would pick up remarks
there, she told the Post.
“He (Kennedy) was very con
scious of history,” Mrs. Lincoln
told the Post. “These were for
history and he wanted to have
them for that and he never once
went back to one.”
Fenn said the recording sys
tem taped 325 meetings and 275
telephone conversations.
The Post said it obtained a log
from the library of the record
ings, which indicated they in
cluded “vast amounts of unre
leased information, including
many highly classified meetings
The years have been spent
“trying to determine who’s talk
ing. It’s a long, long process,”
Fenn said.

Nixon, unlike Reagan, con
cluded the IRS was authorized
to take such action, he said.
U.S. District Judge George
Hart refused Thursday to issue
an injunction barring the gov
ernment from implementing
Reagan’s policy decision.
The Lawyers Committee for
Civil Rights Under Law had re
quested the injunction. Several
years ago, the group won an
order prohibiting tax exemp
tions for schools who discrimin
ate in Mississippi. Hart said
Thursday he had jurisdiction
over the case in Mississippi, but
could not rule on the issue out
side the state’s borders.
Amid growing opposition to
the president’s arguments, com
mittee Chairman Dan Rostenk-
owski, D-Ill., said the burden
would be on the administration
to prove legislation is needed.
