...battle in Protestant-Catholic relations is over a number of bills to liberalize abortion laws that are currently pending in state legislatures, designed to provide for legal abortions in cases of rape, incest, and a threat to the mother's health attested to by qualified physicians. In every case the Catholic Church, which considers abortion equivalent to murder, is fighting hard to kill these measures. In Chicago last week, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops authorized a new "educational campaign" against the proposed laws, with a first-year budget of $50,000.

Yale University's Dr. John McLean Morris has given large doses of one of the standard estrogens to more than 100 women for four or five days immediately after unwanted coitus-in many cases from rape or incest. There have been no pregnancies.

...Game Is Over, which transposes a novel by Emile Zola (La Curée) into the present Paris scene, he gives them little else. Game tells the gamy tale of a hot young wife who commits incest with the hot young stepson (Peter McEnery) of her cold old husband (Michel Piccoli), and Vadim finds opportunities innumerable to show the world what a lucky man he is. Mrs. Vadim is exhibited stark naked in a bed of lust and rising from a garden pool like the White Rock girl. She also appears topless in a bathroom and bottomless under a hair...
