Dr. Paul Blumenthal, an obstetrician who heads contraceptive research and programs at Johns Hopkins University’s Bayview medical center, told the Associated Press that “It meets all the criteria that would ordinarily have to be met by any other over- the-counter drugs.

...Strong, 41 and eight months pregnant, lies down on four armless chairs shoved together in the far corner of a conference room at Montefiore Medical Center's Comprehensive Family Care facility in the Bronx, N.Y.

Jolson's urgent, boastful bray--an ad-libbed intro to his rendition of Toot Toot Tootsie--cut through the opening-night audience at the Warner Theatre near Times Square like an obstetrician's scissors severing the umbilical cord to silent films, for 30 years the dominant screen language. But the movies had to talk. Thomas Edison thought so. He and his assistant W.K.L. Dickson had devised a talking-movie machine as early as 1889. In the early '20s short sound films appeared...
