...sponsored a bill that would allow Indians to gather feathers legally, but only if they complied with four pages of regulations. Pluckers would have to 1) prove that they are Indians; 2) obtain permits from the Ohio Division of Wildlife; 3) remove plumage only from birds that had been found dead; and 4) not give away any feathers, though they could be bequeathed to another Indian. The bill floated through the Ohio house of representatives last week by a vote of 78 to 17, but may be shot down in the state senate. Jeered State Senator John Kasich: "This...
...doctors at Yale, the University of Connecticut and Case Western Reserve report they have devised a prenatal blood test that may avert those heart-rending abortions. Once amniocentesis determines that a woman is carrying a male child, doctors use a technique called fetoscopy to obtain a sample of the baby's blood. They make an incision in the woman's abdomen, then insert a tubular fiber-optic device to locate one of the baby's blood vessels on the placenta. Using a tiny needle, they withdraw a few drops of the baby's blood, which...
...bouffe-from one of the godfathers no less? That's pretty much what Arizona agents orchestrated at the modest ranch house of Joseph ("Joe Bananas") Bonanno, 74, in Tucson.

The manuscript even carried a working title: My Reign, 1939 to the Present. Investigators...

The U.S., in not atypical fashion of "negotiating through strength," is deploying the new Trident submarine; the projected ten Tridents will cost the taxpayer about $20 billion. Additional systems, under consideration as "bargaining chips" to obtain Senate ratification of SALT, are the MX ICBM at $30-50 billion, and several thousand air-launched cruise missiles at $30 billion...
Trying to obtain more sharply focused reports, Director Turner has called for inclusion of dissent in CIA analyses. He has also created an intelligence officer for warning, who has the job of scanning the horizon, looking for the unexpected, jumping into any situation. Much still remains to be done to encourage individual initiative. Promotions, which lag behind other Government agencies, can be speeded up. Usually when an analyst performs well, he is advanced to managerial level, where his laboriously acquired skills are then lost to the agency. A good analyst should be prized above all employees and rewarded accordingly...
