...planning finally got a friend in Sripati Chandrasekhar, 48, a world-famed demographer who became the new Minister of State for Health.

Chandrasekhar, who plans to emphasize the use of the loop contraceptive for women, will enforce an all-out program to reduce India's birth rate. -As for food, the new minister was certain to bring a sense of urgency...

As field general of a team that has won 19 out of 22 games, Swartz insists that "the big guys on defense don't bother me when it comes to setting up a play. It's only when I shoot that they become a nuisance." Not enough of a nuisance, though, to keep him from scoring at crucial moments: twice this season, against Temple and Brigham Young, Swartz sank game-winning jump shots from...
