  17. <p>     The outcome, like Switzerland itself, contained elements of
  18. both compromise and illogic. After rejecting one female
  19. legislator, on what some called sexist grounds, for membership
  20. on the ruling seven-member Federal Council, parliament approved
  21. a woman nonlegislator with the same background (a
  22. French-speaking socialist) and roughly similar political views
  23. (a reduced role for the military, pro-E.C.). The principal
  24. difference between the rejected Christiane Brunner and winner
  25. Ruth Dreifuss, says Dreifuss, is that "I reassure people because
  26. I look a little plain."
