...Jones industrial average up 42.77 points last week, to close at 1993.53. Fueled mainly by large institutional investors, the rise was the first feeble recovery following the back-to-back record weekly drops of 235.48 and 295.98 points earlier this month.

...Pope and his doctrinal watchdogs find these developments violations of the dignity of the nascent human life, transgressions of the child's right to be born into a natural family, interference with natural sexual reproduction between husband and wife, or attempts at sinister scientific "control and domination" over the human person. In addition, the Instruction expresses fears that reproductive technology invites discrimination among human beings, weakened protection for vulnerable people, and eugenic schemes to fashion a more desirable super-race...
