...fight pits Prime Minister Indira Gandhi against the party's so-called "Syndicate," a closely knit group of conservative big-city bosses. The issue is the political direction of the party. Ever since she took over three years ago, Indira has attempted to push Congress toward the socialist goals ordained by earlier leaders, including her father Jawaharlal Nehru. But she has run into opposition from disapproving party right-wingers, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Morarji Desai, her sole rival in the 1966 and 1967 party elections for the premiership. The right-wingers feel that Indira...
Torpedoed at Bangalore. A showdown began to develop two weeks ago at the Bangalore session of the All-India Congress Committee, the party's policy-setting group. In principle, the members of the Syndicate endorsed Indira's efforts to speed India's swing to the left, but in practice they dragged their sandals. Supported by Desai, her chief opponents were Bombay Leader S. K. Patil, Congress Party President S. Nijalingappa, former President Kumaraswami Kamaraj and West Bengal Chieftain Atuyla Ghosh. After first challenging Indira in closed meetings, her opponents tried to sidestep such proposals as nationalizing Indian...
That possibility has worried Venetians, and those who love Venice, for centuries. Lord Byron foresaw a day when the city's "marble walls are level with the waters."

This summer's disturbances, however, do not mean that there is something inherent in rock that automatically leads to rioting; too many kids have lived un-rebelliously with today's pop sound for that to be true. Instead, the festivals seem to have become an experience akin...
...posed by the Viet Nam war, which is creating thousands of widows who must grapple with grief. In an effort to help them, a Navy psychiatrist at Camp Pendleton, Calif., has set up a program that uses their common tragedy to turn them toward the future. A teacher of group therapy at U.C.L.A. before entering the service, Lieut. Commander Leonard Zunin launched "Operation Second Life" with the idea that the best help for widows can come from other widows. In a sense, he is simply employing the form of help more "primitive" societies take for granted: letting the bereaved relieve...
