...Broca's not-so-new film raises, problems beyond Harvey's ignorant laughter. Is Belmondo a French Marlon Brando? Or a Parisian Humphrey Bogart? Or, perhaps, a James Bond full of happy pills?

"Responsible leadership, unafraid but refusing to take needless risk, has turned the tide in freedom's favor."

In Denver, Dr. Holmes's colleagues have measured the skull diameter of unborn babies accurately to within one-eighth of an inch in 95 of 100 cases. And there is no evidence that ultrasound, properly used, has any harmful effects even on such sensitive targets as the unborn child, the reproductive system, or the human...
