...that the 23,000 exiles form a united front-far from it. In fact, they are divided mainly into three major political and ethnic groups: the royalist Zbor movement; the Chetniks of the late Draža Mihailović, Tito's chief rival for power during World War II; and the Croats, including many former members of the Ustachi movement, which collaborated with the Nazis during the war. Since the three groups despise each other nearly as much as they do Tito, a good part of the murder and mayhem among Yugoslavs in West Germany undoubtedly involves exile rivalries...
...have ranged from Matador El Cordobés to Heart Surgeon Christiaan Barnard. But this one is for real, says the Italian beauty. The fortunate fellow is George S. Kaufman, a wealthy Manhattan real estate executive who met Gina in New York two months ago. No kin to the late playwright, he likes to toss off lines like "My first and greatest present to Gina is my love." In Rome, where they announced plans to marry, the pair was mobbed by the press. Photographers followed them everywhere-even on the plane from Geneva to Rome, and that proved too much...
...seem to be trying, in fact, to repel other women rather than attract them. Hundreds of young girls are learning karate, tossing oft furious statements about "male chauvinists," distributing threatening handouts ("Watch out!

Gesell -son of the late famous pediatrician Dr. Arnold Gesell-declared unconstitutional a 68-year-old Washington law that made it a crime for any doctor to perform an abortion except when "necessary for the preservation of the mother's life or health." Judge Gesell called on Congress to write "a far more scientific and appropriate statute" for the District of Columbia. And he made it clear that the capital's only public hospital must promptly liberalize its policy on therapeutic abortions so that the operations will be as available to the poor...
...from tradition by launching its ships sideways, into the Mississippi River at New Orleans. After the ships were ordered, specifications were drawn and redrawn as the admirals sought scientific perfection-or were sold on new electronic gadgets. Many important parts were only in the development stage and thus arrived late at the assembly sites. Todd delivered the first ship last March, 16 months late, and to date has collected overrun claims of $96.5 million. Lockheed is claiming $45 million in overrun costs and Avondale $137 million. Altogether, the destroyer escorts, originally budgeted for $510 million, will wind up costing taxpayers...
