Kauffman's oyster shells, compounded into a product called Os-Cal and recommended for pregnant women with circulatory problems, have been joined by 20 other ethical drugs. For the 15-year-old company, sales last year came to $10,400,000 and Marion Laboratories was the 41st largest among some 900 U.S. drug companies. What really pleases Kauffman, however, is that his company ranked first in terms of its increase in sales and earnings and its return (44.2%) on stockholder's equity. Beyond that, Marion's net profit of 18.1% was nearly double the average...
...Jerusalem. A very pukka Sahib general (played with quaint and artful foxiness by Anthony Quayle) comes home from liquidating the white man's bumbling in Malaysia, only to find that his son and daughter have become neoprimitive natives of swinging England. His daughter (Margaret Linn) is complacently pregnant-by whom, she cannot be sure. His bearded guitar-laden son (Sam Waterston) looks "like a leftover from the Last Supper," and his so-called mistress is a breastless, hipless, bass-voiced androgyne. Ultimately, the general goes his filial foes one better at anarchic nonconformity by growing a beard himself, living...

"Latin America has said 'Enough!' and has started to move forward!" the signs say. But does a conference like the Organization of Latin American Solidarity really lend much effective aid to that struggle...
...prenatal life while terrified women are desperately inserting pointed objects into their wombs is, to my mind, infinitely more questionable than the subject of abortion itself. What is the theory behind keeping abortions from those who need them most, wives who already have too many children and unwed pregnant girls? I assume it is a Puritan hangover of a need to punish them for enjoying sex, in which case denying them the operation is as logical as castrating their husbands and lovers. The objection that an abortion prevents a human from entering the world is purely intellectual, since a major...
...culture snob who is headed for a cathedral marriage, and the other by Evie, the town crier's pretty daughter, a "secular" sexpot with eyes like black plums. For Oliver, a chapel-going apothecary's son, marriage is unthinkable with either, even when he gets Evie pregnant (or so she lets him think). It sounds like an un-American tragedy; yet Golding's story is no glum Dreiserian dirge. Eros wears a comic mask...
