...well as his chemotherapy pills. Massachusetts doctors warned, however, that Laetrile was incompatible with regular chemotherapy and had, in fact, caused signs of cyanide poisoning in Chad's body. After considering a possible kidnaping charge against the Greens, Massachusetts Attorney General Francis X. Bellotti instead sought a court order demanding that the Greens return Chad to Massachusetts for treatment. Judge Guy Volterra granted the order. Last week he held the parents in contempt of court for disobeying it, but gave them another week to comply before assessing any penalty...

Liberated homosexuals chant, "Gay pride"; their detractors plead, "Save our children." Blacks employ "black is beautiful" for self-encouragement and "black power" as a statement to the established order. And the elderly now demand "gray power." Proposition 13, though a California event, has become a rallying call everywhere among rebels hoping to achieve tax reductions...
