...diversity of religious groupings are launching experimental programs. New York City's begins next September, Chicago's started last winter, and 400-odd others are under way. This year, for the first time, the Federal Government is awarding two grants specifically in the field, to help plan model courses in Bedford, Mass., and New Orleans. Even the Roman Catholic Church, which hitherto has given the subject a wide berth, is taking the plunge. The New York Archdiocese has prepared a "Program of Family Life Education" for its 400 parishes. Catholic-run Fordham University will offer next September...
...classroom, teachers try to make the subject matter as specific as possible-especially in the elementary grades, where they commonly assign children to model the male and female genitals in clay or make drawings of them and their workings. Some instructors use plastic manikins from which the exterior genitals can be removed to reveal the apparatus within. One sex educator in Detroit demonstrates the stretching of the uterus with a rubber ball inside a sock, and the growth of the human embryo by soaking beans in water until they swell and sprout. Teachers get much help from movies in schools...
Persistent Enmities. Once thought of as a model for other young African democracies, Nigeria has buckled under the weight of persistent enmities among four major tribes-the Moslem Hausas and Fulanis in the North, the Yorubas in the West and the clever Ibos in the East.

Northerners countered with a coup that installed Gowon, and their pent-up fury exploded in the massacre of thousands of Ibos...
Britain's press dubbed it "Chichysteria." The phenomenon quickly produced tea towels, bone-china mugs, picture postcards, model boat kits, jigsaw puzzles, health foods and even pink panties emblazoned with a black anchor-all in tribute to Sir Francis Chichester. The gaunt, 65-year-old mariner, whose solo circumnavigation of the globe ended last week, became the hottest commercial property in hero-starved Britain since Twiggy...
...become West Berlin's next minister of health. A war veteran who had lost parts of both legs, he had risen through the ranks to a key position in the Social Democratic Party. More to the point, he was regarded as a first-rate doctor who ran a model geriatrics clinic; under him, in 13 years, the clinic's "cured and released" ratio rose from a dismal 3% to 33%. Patients were devoted to the charming German Czech, and so was his staff. Small wonder that there seemed to be nothing between...
