...need nuclear weapons in Viet Nam, porters last week. "I can't foresee any conditions under which we would." In books and speeches LeMay articulated a thoughtful approach to the problems of nuclear deterrents. He has never advocated the use of nuclear weapons except in the last extremity, but the fact that he contemplates their use at all is alarming to many. He replies that the deterrent value of nuclear weapons is lost if a nation declares that it will never use them...
...made his first formal speech on the Vice President's behalf during the week, he was all but overshadowed once again by his party's dissenters.

...Catherine Jermany, 28, is unloved but profoundly respected by the Los Angeles County Welfare system, which suspended her from general hospital in 1965.

Yet such operations are still considered criminal acts, except in a few states (Colorado, North Carolina and Maryland). Three years ago, a few California doctors challenged their own state's restrictive abortion law by publicly announcing that they had aborted German-measles victims.* Now, a California superior court has handed down a ruling that contradicts the California law and challenges similar laws in other states as well. Not only do many doctors regard such abortions...
