Judge Robert Gardner of Santa Ana, Calif., has the reputation of being an innovator. But even to Gardner, the request by the defense attorney was an extraordinary one. On trial was a young Filipino mother, Antonia Thomas, accused of murdering her six-day-old infant by feeding it some caustic substance from a baby bottle. She had already been found guilty in the killing once, but a mistrial had been declared. Between the trials, Defense Lawyer Dudley Gray had read in TIME (Dec. 29) about Thomas Kidwell, an accused wife killer who was shown to a jury on video tape...
Time to Study. That was expectable from a girl who trains on such exercises as 40 deep knee bends with a 150-lb. barbell across her shoulders. Nancy first rode on skis as an infant strapped into a pack on her father's back. By three, she could angle down a slope by herself, and at 16, she competed in her first international meet: the 1960 Olympics at Squaw Valley. Her 22nd-place finish in the downhill spurred her to train so hard that Rossland's citizens waged a door-to-door campaign for enough money to send...
With the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the U.S., unemployment double the nation's average, and several square miles of scabrous ghetto housing, Negroes in Newark brought their own endemic rage to last July's six-day riot that killed 26 and left the city's Central Ward a shambles.

In 1965, said the President, "the rate among poor families was nearly double the national average. In certain city ghettos and pockets of rural poverty the rate was seven times that in surrounding suburban areas." To correct this: We must now provide "essential medical care to the 700,000 needy mothers who now give birth each year and to their infants." So the President recommended...
...Mother. Whatever else he does, though, the agent can rarely avoid for long his original function: the care and occasionally the feeding of his authors, who, like infant children, are in constant need of mothering. Few authors can have that need fulfilled as thoroughly as Novelist Budd Schulberg (What Makes Sammy Run?), whose agent really is his mother, Ad Schulberg, a 37-year veteran of the business. But few agents serve as a mother substitute as successfully as Candida Donadio, an exceedingly shy woman who abhors publicity and rarely allows herself to be photographed. Such clients as Joseph Heller (Catch...
