...premiums as "unearned reserves," count them as a nontaxed liability-and then invest them along with other reserves. And when it comes to setting rates, critics add, the companies refuse to consider their investment profits. Still the industry's overall profits are less than 6%-just about the lowest of any major U.S. business. It is only by dipping into investment income that many auto insurers stay in the black...
...newspaper Vecerni Praha was asking a question that echoes mournfully throughout Eastern Europe these days. Everywhere in the Communist bloc the institution of marriage is in trouble, and the proof of the malaise can be read in soaring divorce rates and declining birth rates. In Hungary, which has the lowest birth rate in the world, 13.6 per 1,000 people, more abortions are performed than there are babies born each year. One out of every four Rumanian couples got a divorce last year, as did one out of every three Czechoslovakian couples in Prague. The divorce rate has even shot...
...minds of Cuba's 7.8 million citizens have rarely needed more diverting. Che Guevara is dead, and with him Castro's dream of leading a continent-wide revolution in Latin America. Cuba's relations with its Russian allies are at their lowest point since the 1962 missile crisis. The economy is a shambles.

...college or pro ball even comes close this year (U.C.L.A.'s Lew Alcindor is averaging only 28.3 points), and with any luck, Maravich should break the alltime college scoring record (1,209 points) set by Furman's Frank Selvy in 1954. Pete's lowest score was 30 points against Alabama; his highest was 58 against Mississippi State. One night last week against Georgia, he rattled off 42 points, including two last-second foul shots that gave L.S.U. a 79-76 victory. A few nights later, he dropped in 52 as L.S.U. trounced Tulane...
...being equal in their humanity, should be treated equally." Inferior types might be looked upon as man now looks on inferior animals. A large measure of truth could be read into one of Hitler's Nürnberg decrees that held "there is a greater difference between the lowest forms still called human and our superior races than between the lowest man and monkeys of the highest order." Yet Adler gives the subject a new twist by asserting that man's nature is defined not only by his difference from the beasts but by his difference from machines...
