...incompetence, of inadequacy that surrounded the characters. Now everyone on the staff except Ted Baxter, the anchorman with the mane of Eric Sevareid and the brain of a hamster, is fired. So ends the MTM show. The real Mary Tyler Moore will take some time off and eventually develop a new series...
...Soviet Union a major exporter by 1980 (at present, so few of the reserves have been tapped that the Soviets themselves import gas from Iran). The only deal involving Americans, however, is a tentative agreement between the Soviets, Occidental Petroleum, El Paso and a group of Japanese firms to develop a major field near Yakutsk in Siberia. After years of negotiating, the Soviets are still surveying the area. If the deal finally goes through, gas would be piped 2,000 miles to Vladivostok for shipment to the U.S. and Japan...
...entire civilization be unconscious? Jaynes' answer: much the same way that sleepwalkers and hypnotized people function without awareness. According to Jaynes, humans began to develop language around 100,000 B.C., but lived with virtually no inner life until about 10,000 B.C.

He himself does not practice law, however, because, he says, he wants to keep his credibility unimpaired...
This glimpse of prenatal life is an extraordinary technical feat by a West German obstetrician, Dr. Hans Frangenheim, who helped develop the pencil-thin telescopic optics, and a Washington, D.C., endoscopist, Dr. John L. Marlow, who did the actual photography in a West German hospital. TV viewers are not told that, unlike the babies of the three mothers, the embryos shown were doomed. Because of the experimental nature of the photography-and the possible risk it posed-it was done only in the wombs of women about to undergo abortions...
