RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT. For most women, however, obstacles are still abundant. Thirty-three states retain century-old laws making abortion a crime unless performed to save the life or, in a few instances, protect the health of the pregnant woman. In Utah, some lawyers interpret the law to hold that it may even be a crime to help a woman obtain an abortion elsewhere. Abortions are all but impossible to obtain in such states as New Jersey, Iowa and the Dakotas, difficult at best in Massachusetts, much of the South and Middle West. Women in Idaho, which...

But no structure is contemplated that would be remotely similar to that of the Office of Price Administration, which at its peak during World War II included 63,000 paid and over 200,000 volunteer employees.

THINKING back to the early '60s, Reporter-Researcher Sydnor Vanderschmidt recalls the difficulties that "space journalism" had in getting off the ground: "When the space age began, it seemed that no one was prepared to interpret the developments for a general audience. The scientists used incomprehensible jargon, and a typical reporter's question was 'How in the world does that satellite stay up there?' " Since then, Syd observes, "newsmen have acquainted themselves with orbital mechanics, and the scientists have finally learned to speak English...
