Orthodox Rabbi Norman Lamm, who raised the question in a recent speech in Milwaukee, admits that world population control is a "moral imperative," but maintains that it must be balanced by a concern for survival of all human groups. "Jews are a disappearing species," he says, "and should be treated no worse than the kangaroo and the bald eagle." Lamm's recommendation: each Jewish couple should have four or five children...
...peace flags, bottles of Ripple wine. In their place can be found pastel tennis shoes, American flags and Tab. Many fans come in halter tops for a suntan and to be part of the carnival scene.

...Lamm has been dubbed a one-issue man; a tough land-use plan he sponsored in the legislature lost by a single vote, and he plans to push it again as Governor. But he has also supported a variety of other causes. He managed to win passage of the nation's first therapeutic abortion law in 1967. He was a major backer of no-fault insurance; he fought so hard for child-abuse legislation that admirers floridly called him "champion of the battered child...
