...three researchers-Drs. Ellis Cohen and J. Weldon Bellville and Biostatistician Byron Brown-conducted parallel studies on two groups of women who serve in hospitals. The first study reviewed the miscarriage rates of 159 nurses. Among the 67 operating-room nurses queried, 29.7% of the pregnancies occurring over a five-year period ended in miscarriage; among the 92 nurses assigned elsewhere in the hospital, only 8.8% of pregnancies ended in spontaneous abortion. The second study involved 131 women physicians, 50 of them anaesthesiologists, the rest used as a control group. Only 10% of the pregnancies that occurred in the control...
...Happiness Surgery. Wagner averages 30 operations a week, one-third of them on men. The reason, he thinks, is that "we are enjoying a renaissance of the peacock look for men." Says another Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Byron Hardin: "A lot of stigma used to be attached to plastic surgery for men; there was a tendency to associate it with entertainers and homosexuals.

White took a middle position, contending that the First Amendment is not absolute and a potential danger to national security may be so grave as to justify censorship. However, they agreed that this had not been demonstrated in the Times and Post cases...
...William O. Douglas, Hugo Black, Thurgood Marshall and William Brennan, who dissented in the college-aid decision. None of them could see why Government support of secular services should be more entangling in schools than colleges. All thought that the court should have banned aid to colleges too; Justice Byron White, the lone supporter of school-level aid, argued that if colleges meet the Allen and Walz tests, schools do also. Their disagreements lead some legal experts to wonder whether the court's "entanglement" standards might prove as troublesome to interpret as its various definitions of obscenity...
...dissenting opinion, Justice Byron White wrote that he had "little doubt" that the closings were an official "pronouncement that Negroes are somehow unfit to swim with whites." Black felt it necessary to warn from the bench that the majority view should not be taken as encouragement for the closing of public schools to evade integration-a tactic long since outlawed. But distinguishing between pools and schools sidesteps the point that perhaps no distinction should be made...
