...century, state laws in the U. S. have generally made abortion a crime except where necessary to save a woman's life. The ban is enforced by religious beliefs, medical ethics, fear of social scandal. Yet it is flouted throughout the country-in the same pattern, though not in the same numbers, as Prohibition was decades ago. Written by men, anti-abortion laws cannot quell the desperation of women for whom a particular pregnancy is a hateful foreign object. At their time of despair, women agree with Author Marya Mannes, who reviles such laws as the work...
Cast Off & Clutch. It was all 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. He scored his third and fourth runs of the series, the last on a line single by Roger Maris, that Yankee cast-off who now hustles like a rookie for the Cards, with three hits and three RBIs in the first three games...
...fell afoul of another stool pigeon. Back he went to Charlestown. Next, he and five others managed to sneak in some guns and build a ladder.

A junior recalls hiking to the Biology Library as a freshman to get the Kinsey Report because he did not know Widener made it available for general use. The Bio Library also kept the book in a locked cabinet, and the freshman was allowed to read the book for one hour--with a matronly librarian hovering...
Even more serious than the sludge dilemma is Bacon's inability to clean any doorsteps except his own. He points with great pride to the district's record of not adding a drop of pollution in recent years to Lake Michigan, but ten blocks above the district's northern border sits a treatment plant which daily dumps half-cleaned sewage into the lake. And in Gary, Indiana the huge U.S. Steel plant continues to empty its industrial wastes. U.S. Steel has been ordered to stop by the end of 1968, but Bacon doesn't think the date can stand...
