Arrest & Suicide. Violence and dis order continued to rule from the cities of the eastern river valleys to the western desert of Sinkiang. The deposed mayor of Shanghai was hauled through the city's streets atop a trolley car, his head bowed and a placard tied about his neck. Armed battles between pro-and anti-Maoist factions roiled the streets of Canton, and north of the city, in Kiangsi province, an army of anti-Mao peasants was reported gathering-and daring Mao's Red Guards to come and fight them.

But at least he's got one of the prettier girls in the U.S. And in a few weeks, Paul, the swinger emeritus of the National Football League, will marry Dallas Model Pat Roeder, 29, and settle down...
...years Dr. Snyder has performed this simple surgery on 32 patients, five bitten by cottonmouth moccasins and 27 by rattlesnakes. All have recovered. Obviously, excising a piece of flesh up to the size of a silver dollar is not practical in the head and neck region, Dr. Snyder concedes in the A.M.A. Journal, but most snake bites are on the hands, arms and legs...
