...contraceptives have been developed which do not require a visit to a doctor. This makes it possible for women to be told about birth control without the written prescription which the law forbids. Birth control information for married couples can be given by word of mouth. There is no law in Massachusetts prohibiting the use of contraceptives...
...been startling. Jane entered Smiths last year, utterly demoralized by her well-educated but intensely demanding parents. She alternated between incoherent screaming and stunned silence, slept exactly two hours in her first eight days, required three people to undress her. The "continuous cuddle" given Jane by a nurse and doctor were unsuccessful-then Big Sister Maggie (mental age: five) took over. Jane went to bed with Maggie, curled up in her arms and finally fell asleep. Last week Jane's shrimpish little face, once twisted with rage, beamed mischievously as she and Maggie sat on the floor, playing...

...baboons, their long snouts armed with powerful teeth, fought ferociously when first trapped, had to be maneuvered into squeeze cages, where they were compressed into stillness long enough for a doctor to inject an anesthetic. Soon they were on the autopsy table where pathologists removed all vital organs for preservation and shipping to the U.S. Of 163 animals thus examined, about half were found to have atherosis in the aorta. Strangely, although the disease was commoner in the older apes, it was by no means confined to them. Many young ones had it. Also strangely, although atherosis of the coronary...
