...closing hours, to pass a "moratorium" law, forbidding U.S. courts to issue desegregation orders for the next six months. Collins could well afford to spend his time advising on national civil rights policy. He has no desegregation problem at home; there is not the slightest possibility that a Negro child will attend school with whites in Florida this year...
...photographic euphemism. In the delivery room the head, the shoulders, the torso and finally the legs of an aborning infant come into view, and seconds later the mother gathers the baby in her arms.

But in the end, as Humbert tells the event, "it was she who seduced me . . . Modern coeducation, juvenile mores, the campfire...
...convicted last fall by a Japanese court (and put on suspended sentence) for shooting a Japanese woman scavenging brass from a U.S. Army firing range, and Haru Sueyama ("Candy") Girard, 30, who married him after the killing and before the trial: a daughter, their first child; in Ottawa, 111. Name: Roxanne Marie. Weight...
