...regard Colorado-style laws as a blatant c^se of state-approved eugenics, never before established in U.S. law. To abort a rubella (German measles) victim, they say, is to rely on the purely statistical chance (average odds: 50-50) that her child may be defective-and to doom a possibly perfect baby in the process. To abort a fetus produced by rape or incest, they say, is to execute the most innocent partv in the trianele purely for the mother's social convenience. Even the rapist is guaranteed a trial based...
...such a tough act to follow that the third game in St. Louis had to suffer by comparison-except that most of the agony was in the Red Sox dugout. Four pitchers gave the Cards ten hits and five runs, and once again, Lou Brock was the messenger of doom.

Though Tshombe could not be extradited for purely political reasons, ruled the Algerian Supreme Court, "Algerian justice does not shield murder and robbery." If President Houari Boumediene ratifies the Court's decision Tshombe must go home-presumably to his doom. For the best-known avocat in the French-speaking world, it was a rare, bitter defeat. In 20,000 cases, Floriot has lost only two clients to the guillotine and about ten to the firing squad...
