Good Humor. Bolstering Ford throughout his busy week was his wife Betty's encouraging recovery. Because cancer cells were found in two of the 30 lymph nodes removed in the operation, she will have to undergo further treatment to prevent the spread of the disease. But she appeared to be in good humor. She was surrounded with cards, letters and bouquets from well-wishers...
...Paris. This new group, whose members use 80% of the world's petroleum, plans to deal directly with OPEC and the oil companies and will allocate petroleum among its members during an emergency.

On the contrary, they said they'd welcome showings of Griffith's film in different, more avowedly controversial contexts, and on Monday afternoon they agreed to just such a showing. Even if the protesters' desire were to suppress Griffith's movie or ideas, they couldn't. It's silly to identify their action with official strong-arm tactics, or with other potentially dangerous attempts at dictatorial rule, because...
