...Flying Wallendas have been performing their spine-tingling act on the high wire, always without a net. Since the Wallenda family settled in the U.S. in the 1920s, four members have toppled to death, and a fifth was permanently paralyzed in a fall. Now Steve Wallenda, 17, the youngest male of the proud family, who could have revitalized the troupe, has called it quits -for a high flying career with the U.S. paratroops. "I just like heights-on our first jump we will be jumping from 1,200 ft.," said Steve. "The highest I ever got in the circus...
William Baird defied Massachusetts law last night by describing the uses and efficiency of various contraceptives to a predominantly male crowd in Lowell Lecture Hall. But this time, he was not arrested...
...species is defined by scientists as a group that can reproduce itself. Two species are marked as distinct if mixed members either will not mate or cannot produce fertile male and female offspring.

On a suggestion from Dr. Rock, who noted that sperm production is prevented by too high a temperature in the testicles, some men have immersed their scrota in water at 130°. Sperm reduction lasted for as long as a month, but did not become effective until at least two weeks after the treatment. The tech nique is not likely to catch on. Los Angeles' Dr. Edward T. Tyler found a male pill that knocked out the sperm after two or three weeks. Trouble was, the drug worked with prison volunteers...
