...ratification by the Bundesrat of a new German sex law. Part of a general overhaul of the country's archaic 19th century penal code, the sweeping reforms were finally hammered out after three years of angry debate in the West German Parliament. Said a spokesman for Chancellor Willy Brandt's Social Democratic Party: "All the law does is catch up with the times and protect the freedom of the individual to sexual determination...
...most of Europe, there was a vague air of siege. Fuel prices are going up, driving restrictions have been imposed, and in Britain ration cards have already been printed?just in case.

...assumption that some primitive man might have carved his impressions of the great event-markings that could be archaeologically dated to determine more precisely when the Vela supernova occurred-NASA Astronomers John C. Brandt, Stephen P. Maran and Theodore Stecher last year issued an appeal. They asked archaeologists to be on the lookout, especially in the Southern hemisphere-where the Gum nebula can be best observed-for any unidentified ancient symbols that might have been painted or carved to represent the supernova...
