Last night at 7 p.m. the Charles River was still. Its banks bore the mark of the hundreds of picnicing spectators, its bridges had managed tc withstand the onslaught of the some 677 shells and skulls that had weaved their way up the river, and its waters, in general, seemed to breath a huge sigh of relief. The rowing extravaganza of the fall season, The Head of the Charles Regatta, had come and gone and the Ol' Man was still rolling along...

The images bore dramatic witness to the increasingly bitter and violent confrontation between the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco and its radical opponents.

BIRTH DEFECTS. The Ohio department of health has found that women in three communities with PVC plants-Painesville, Ashtabula and Avon Lake-bore more children with birth defects and other malformations than women in other communities in the state; laboratory research has shown that vinyl chloride can cause chromosomal damage in humans.

Russian, Danish and U.S. studies all show a high miscarriage rate among women anesthesiologists and operating-room nurses...

An excellent arrangement and some strong vocal accompaniment by Andrew Gold and Kenny Edwards supplement Ronstadt's wide ranging but perfectly controlled performance on "Many Rivers to Cross," a rather clumsily-worded song that could easily be a bore. Ronstadt has never been more relaxed and poised than in "Tracks of My Tears," an unremarkable retread recorded by performers ranging from Smokey Robinson to Aretha Franklin to Johnny Rivers. Her subtle interpretation infuses it with a genuine but understated pathos. The song is striking proof of Ronstadt's artistic...
