...American Portrait Films of Anaheim, Calif., depicts through ultrasound imaging what happens in the womb during the abortion of a twelve-week-old fetus. The images are grainy and vague, but Narrator Nathanson provides explanation. "The child," he says, "senses aggression in its sanctuary" and moves in an "agitated" manner away from the surgical instruments in a "pathetic attempt to escape." Its heart rate $ increases as it "senses mortal danger," and, he notes, pointing to a fuzzy image, it opens its mouth in a horrible "silent scream...
Santilli recounts a series of incidents in which senior physicists at Harvard and M.I.T. obstructed his research although it was supported by government funding, reneged on agreements, and conspired to generally undermine his reputation in a highly irregular manner. He tells of how after he set up a private institution, the institute for Basic Research, to sponsor physical research that lead been obstructed elsewhere, the Boston area physics calendar refused to list all conferences and symposia sponsored by the I.B.R.-events which have included many distinguished scholars from in stitutions throughout the world...

The first goal he finally got in the five-game rematch last year was a backhander. "I enjoy hockey even more now that I can say I'm a champion," he says. "To be champion changes everything, just the way you feel about coming to the rink...
...long series of instances where the President has found a specific and relatively weak group to bear the burden of his deficit. It's not that we object to his efforts to sort out government finances, it's that he's pursuing his objectives in an inequitable manner. And for as long as he refuses to prescribe at least one of the two remedies indispensable to curing deficit ills, namely, slower increases in defense spending and/or increased government revenues, Reagan can make no claim to being the champion of fiscal prudence...
