...prompting a walkout by Strom Thurmond's Dixiecrats. He showed foresight when he crusaded for Medicare 15 years before it became law and proposed a Peace Corps nine months before it was established. His peace credentials, validated in the struggle for enactment of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, were always gilt-edged?until Lyndon Johnson and Viet Nam happened along...
...Ban the Germ. Few CBW specialists worry about such bizarre schemes. Figuring out defenses against the existing possibilities keeps them busy enough.

He was easily accessible to student leaders and appointed students to academic committees. To antiwar activists, Pitzer's main drawback...
Reduced Risk. Milan's Professor Carlo Sirtori agrees with Cross and adds mongolism to the list of congenital defects associated with outdated ova. The conventional Ogino-Knaus schedule for contraceptive rhythm bars intercourse from the twelfth to the 15th day of the cycle; Sirtori would prolong the ban through the 17th day. This way, says Sirtori, both the risk of an unwanted pregnancy and the possibility of a malformed baby are reduced...
