MARRIAGE-ITALIAN STYLE. A slut's progress from a bawdyhouse to a legal bed takes 20 years, but time passes quickly-thanks to Director Vittorio De Sica (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) and his well-tempered stars, Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni...
...hospital at week's end. One measure of how much effort it will take to translate the generalities of the inaugural address into realities came in the speech itself, when Johnson set himself a difficult task: "The hour and the day and the time are here to achieve progress without strife, to achieve change without hatred-not without difference of opinion, but without the deep and abiding divisions which scar the Union for generations...
...long years, Selma could have served as the model of unyielding resistance to civil rights progress. After the Supreme Court school-desegregation decision in 1954, it was the first Ala bama town to organize a white Citizens Council, which has kept Selma as stubbornly segregated as any community in the nation.

Last summer Clark and his men herded more than 100 Negroes off to jail with sticks, blows and cattle prods when they tried...
Practical Chore. The chemists used every kind of modern apparatus as soon as it became available, but progress was slow. Then some of them turned to X-ray diffractions and called on an IBM 7090 computer to interpret their results. Finally, they found the long-sought formula which is unlike that of any other known poison. Then a group of chemists at Stanford University led by Professor Harry S.

Britain's EFTA partners have threatened to retaliate unless the surcharge is removed or reduced; Sweden's Volvo automaker has already warned that it will stop buying British auto parts (total: $36 million a year). The pressure on Britain to drop the tax will build up strongly at this week's Geneva meeting of EFTA's consultative committee and at next month's meeting of EFTA's ministerial council. Largely because Britain has been shocked into realizing...
