That both of the female baboons at San Antonio's Southwest Foundation for Research and Education had become mothers on Sept. 5, 1975, was hardly unusual. That each was the mother of the same infant male baboon was another matter entirely. In fact, delivery of the baby baboon, reported in Science, was the first birth of a primate resulting from an embryo transplant.* It also may have brought closer the day when a woman who can conceive but is unable to carry a child through a full-term pregnancy could allow another woman to carry and give birth...
...guise of "building men," reform has been slow in coming -as Bubba McClure learned too late. A born loser and high school dropout from Lufkin, Texas, McClure had been rejected by the Army and Air Force before he somehow passed the Armed Forces Qualification Test in San Antonio, after failing it in Lufkin. Sent last year to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, he was quickly tagged a "problem recruit" and assigned to a "motivation" platoon. When he defied orders to participate in a pugil-stick fight (a simulated bayonet drill in which 12-lb. poles padded...
Instructive Figure. He studied landscape design and was a botanist. He was also one of the first foreigners to discern, as minister to France in the 1780s, the challenging merits of new artists like Jacques Louis David and Antonio Canova.

...little riddle is circulating in Lisbon these days about General Antonio Ramalho Eanes, 41, who has stepped down as army Chief of Staff to be a candidate in Portugal's June 27 presidential election. Question: "Why does Eanes always wear dark glasses?" Answer: "To hide his monocle." In fact, Eanes no longer wears his ominously familiar shades these days, but there are nonetheless several points to the quip. One is that Eanes (rhymes with Janice) is now the overwhelming favorite to become the country's next President, a post held by monocled General Antonio de Spinola until...
Paunchy, silver-haired Antonio Perelli is a lawyer and an organizer for the Christian Democratic Party in Cosenza, a sun-drenched river town of 120,000 in the southern Italian region of Calabria. Brisk, wiry Fausto Gelsomino, a printer by trade, is an official of Cosenza's Communist Party. Friendly enemies, the two men have known each other for years, and last week they were among the 30,000 people who gathered at the Piazza Fera for a Communist campaign rally at which the featured speaker was Party Boss Enrico Berlinguer. Shortly afterward, Perelli and Gelsomino...
