Though Dr. Nayar herself had long been a birth-control skeptic in the Gandhi tradition (she was once his private physician), she agreed three years ago to test the Lippes loop, a U.S.-designed intrauterine contraceptive device that prevents the development of a fetus in the womb. Only eleven of the 2,839 Indian women fitted with them last year became pregnant, and five of these conceived after their little white loops had been removed.

Then the girl urged that they try the terrifying loop-de-loop, the fastest swirling ride in the park. With some trepidation, her date agreed. After several breathtaking circular ascents their car was stopped at the uppermost point. Sure enough, an embarrassing dribble of water fell from their compartment to the ground. The swain was aghast. The moral of this...
...Crimson nine, after a disappointing start, has won its last two games and could move into contention in the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League by winning two this weekend. Columbia currently leads the loop with a 2-0 record; Navy is second at 2-1. Harvard has a 1-1 mark...
