Most of the world was begging the contestants to stop. Would-be mediators ranged from Canada's Prime Minister Lester Pearson to the leaders of Russia. There were some strange alignments. The Soviet Union?long a supporter of India?called for an instant truce. Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson did the same and urged all Commonwealth heads of state to follow suit. Red China gleefully came out for Pakistan, and on a Karachi visit last week, Foreign Minister Chen Yi pledged China's support of Pakistan in repelling "Indian armed provocation." Indonesian students in Djakarta joyfully wrecked the Indian...
...relieving them of a great anxiety." Ayub concluded that it was impossible to reach an agreement with the ambivalent and indirect Shastri. They settled into a tenuous coexistence that was punctuated by gunfire earlier this year in the border wasteland of the Rann of Kutch. Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson settled that one, bringing Ayub and Shastri to cautious compromise at the Commonwealth Prime Ministers meeting in London last June...
...merest hint of any slight or insult. It will jealously defend a host of obsolete prerogatives and work practices that are the despair of man agement efforts at efficiency-and often of labor union leaders themselves.

The British public has had just about enough: a National Opinion Poll showed last week that four out of five Britons would go so far as to favor tough government legislation outlawing unauthorized strikes. Harold Wilson, for all his dependence on the workingman's vote, has had enough too. Knowing that Labor's work stoppages, coupled with wage gains running an inflationary 6.3% so far this year, threaten not only the precarious stability of sterling but also the precarious two-vote majority by which his socialists rule. Wilson demanded that the Trades Union Congress, meeting...
...growing use of more reliable methods of birth control, notably "the pills," might be expected to cut down the number of U.S. abortions. But abortions are on the rise. Many doctors agree with the estimate made by Johns Hopkins' Dr. Harold Rosen,* an expert on the subject. His estimate is that frankly illegal abortions, ranging from $50 back-room jobs to $1,500 opera tions performed by skilled surgeons, will rise some 10% this year to a total well over 1,500,000. Also increasing, by at least 10%, is the much smaller but significant number of medically acceptable...
