...thinkers and doers in this experimental human laboratory are immensely busy. Having created so much smog, they are bound to be the first in the alleviation of it, perhaps by perfecting the carbonfree auto engine, perhaps through more stringent traffic legislation. Little by little, they will assume firmer control over environmental deterioration by creating bigger units of government that can act on a regional rather than a local basis...
...admits that models are far harder to build for rich, complex countries than for simpler economies. "Frisch and I started this work in the 1930s, in the days of the economic depression," says Jan Tinbergen. "We wanted to draw a plan to fight depression causes and keep unemployment under control." In recent years, Tinbergen has devoted all of his time to the problems of underdeveloped countries, where econometrics seems well suited to government-diverted economies, and he has set up 20 economic institutes in such distant corners of the world as Turkey, India and Chile...

Complaints were lodged in 1937, and in 1939 the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruled that the clinics would have to close, as birth control had been declared illegal in an 1879 statute...
...bills legalizing birth control for married women were defeated in the Massachusetts legislature. The organization subsequently abandoned attempts to change the law but decided to use the right of free speech to educate people about the importance of family planning. In 1945 it changed its name to the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts...
