...anti-Pill crusaders. The essence: among women on the Pill, Dubrow and Melamed found twice as many cases of cell changes as among women using diaphragms. They call these changes "carcinoma in situ" (literally "cancer in place," as distinct from cancer that has spread). This condition is also known as "carcinoma, stage zero," and as a "precancerous condition," although it does not always lead to cancer. What is not clear is whether these women had any greater incidence of cell abnormalities than did other women who did not use diaphragms (some physicians consider the diaphragm to be a protective factor...
Crowded Dashboard. The Fitch Inertial Barrier System is designed to reduce damage from head-on collisions with fixed objects along the highway. Its principle is well known to operators of beach buggies: soft sand slows a vehicle down. In this system, large plastic drums of sand are grouped in front of bridge abutments, overpass piers, large sign stanchions and similar highway danger points. The drums break when hit by a speeding vehicle, absorbing much of the impact and scattering sand beneath the wheels to slow it further. Cheap and easy to install and replace, the Inertial Barrier System was invented...
Last week Williams, 50, returned to Boston's Fenway Park as the rookie manager of the Washington Senators. It was in that ballpark that he became known as Terrible Ted, throwing bats, spitting in derision, cursing unfriendly sportswriters and refusing to tip his hat to the crowd.

...making believers out of all the cynics who predicted that he would be back bonefishing by midseason. "I'm not going to quit and neither are my 25 ballplayers," he says. "I forgot how enthusiastic I could get about this game." If the game that was once known as America's national pastime needs anything it is that sort of enthusiasm...
...priced below $2,000, are now familiar sights. Last year, 110,000 Japanese cars-more than twice as many as in 1967-went to American buyers. Now two more manufacturers have entered the U.S. market. Fuji Heavy Industries is offering its low-priced $1,300 Subaru, and Honda, already known for its motorcycles, is pushing a $1,400 minicar. A third manufacturer, Toyo Kogyo, expects to make its American debut later this year with a car equipped with twin rotary engines...
