...exiles retaliate by machine-pistoling and bombing Yugoslav offices in West Germany. Employees of the Yugoslav embassy in Bonn work behind fortress-like defenses installed seven years ago, when exile attackers stormed the building and killed a doorman. In the past two years, exiles have hit Yugoslav offices in five major cities, including Berlin, where this summer a 27-year-old Croat riddled the consulate with bullets in an unsuccessful attempt to kill the chief of mission...
...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 for the lovebirds...
...feminism parallels the black movement in many ways. Both are encumbered, for example, by a huge fifth column-for blacks, the Uncle Toms; for women, Aunt Tabbies, also known as Doris Days.

...Mary Ellmann, for instance, has noted that "each month the ovum undertakes an extraordinary expedition from the ovary through the Fallopian tubes to the uterus, an unseen equivalent of going down the Mississippi on a raft or over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Ordinarily, too, the ovum travels singly, like Lewis or Clark, in the kind of existential loneliness which Norman Mailer usually admires. One might say that the activity of ova involves a daring and independence absent, in fact, from the activity of spermatozoa, which move in jostling masses, swarming out on signal like a crowd of commuters from...
William Rodgers, a Seattle law professor who has joined with the Environmental Defense Fund in suing the federal agencies over the use of DDT, is also skeptical. "It looks like the old 'all deliberate speed' tactics," he says. "Look, a person has a choice whether he wants to drink cyclamates or smoke cigarettes. With DDT we don't have a choice. It's everywhere in our food. Until we know for sure what the Government is planning, we will fight...
