...Control. Though Dr. Nayar herself had long been a birth-control skeptic in the Gandhi tradition (she was once his private physician), she agreed three years ago to test the Lippes loop, a U.S.-designed intrauterine contraceptive device that prevents the development of a fetus in the womb. Only eleven of the 2,839 Indian women fitted with them last year became pregnant, and five of these conceived after their little white loops had been removed. That convinced her, she said last week, that Lippes loops are "the answer" to India's problem...
After the 1966 elections, parties must disband if they have not 1) reorganized and established headquarters in at least eleven (of 22) states, 2) elected twelve federal deputies in at least seven states, and 3) won the votes of at least 3% of the electorate.

Although the six free water-skiing exhibits at the Florida Pavilion have drawn many fairgoers to the area, most head back to industrial and foreign pavilions right after the last ski run, passing up the area's tame kiddie rides that...
Last week the industry was tied up in the fourth week of a strike by three of the industry's eleven unions. Though one of the unions came to terms at week's end, some 70 vessels remained idle, and five passenger ships were forced to cancel lucrative summer sailings. The gut issue is the demand for higher wages and pensions-to offset the effects of automation of the kind that Johnson and Skouras propose...
