Menstrual extraction is essentially a vacuum-aspiration method in which the fertilized egg, if present, and the uterine lining are withdrawn by means of a tube inserted through the cervix. It differs significantly, however, from similar procedures performed in clinics in New York and other states where abortion is legal. Vacuum aspiration, as usually done, requires dilation of the cervix under local anesthesia. Menstrual extraction requires little or no dilation in most cases. Instead, a thin (diameter: 4 mm.), flexible plastic tube, or cannula, is inserted through the cervix and into the uterus, and most of the uterine lining...
...feeding of the European headquarters of the United Nations, which now includes five senior agencies, 20 international programs, 41 annual conferences and 4,000 official meetings each year, all charged with carrying out the decisions of the General Assembly in New York City. The Swiss call it "the golden egg," and with good reason. Since 1966, the combined budgets of the various organizations and agencies have doubled, swelling to $250 million annually, more than is spent by the U.N. in New York. The U.N.'s Geneva headquarters has in short become one of the greatest bureaucracies ever built. TIME...
Chicken-or-Egg. The industry is also experimenting with other new marketing techniques. Boston's Keystone Custodian Funds, Inc. has built up a force of 500 salesmen to sell a combined package of mutual-fund shares and life insurance plans. In February, Dreyfus Corp. started a new fund with a scaled-down commission rate that is being sold as a payroll-deduction plan to companies, unions and trade associations. The industry's trade association, the Investment Company Institute, is conducting a $400,000 advertising campaign in newspapers and magazines, designed to convince the public that, for example...
...group they performed badly in the 1969-70 bear market, but last year and in the first half of 1972 the value of stocks bought by mutual funds generally rose more rapidly than the popular market averages. But the funds may have got themselves into a chicken-or-egg situation. Undoubtedly the greatest possible stimulus to sales of fund shares would come from the public excitement about the market that would be generated by the Dow Jones average breaking the 1,000 mark. The question is whether the market can muster the buying power to achieve that breakthrough without...
...craft tradition has never occurred, the results are most successful--for example, plates and pitchers of iron inlaid with silver from Daghestan, and silver filigree jewelry, from Georgia. Two showcases display the products of lacquer-work masters from Ralekh--little papier-mache boxes, decorated with elaborate designs in egg-tempera (often depicting the exploits of Russian fairy-tale heroes), coated with transparent lacquer, then dried and highly polished. One box astonishes: a winter's scene of three youngsters in a troika superimposed on an oval plate of mother-of-pearl to simulate the look of the rays of the setting...
