Neither do other Indians. Last week Indira Gandhi moved on two fronts to strengthen her powers and continue India's relentless pace toward a more centralized, authoritarian government. The Indian Parliament finally approved a much-debated package of constitutional amendments that limit the powers of the presidency and the courts and enlarge those of Parliament and the Prime Minister. Since Mrs. Gandhi's Congress Party holds an overwhelming majority in both houses, the amendments reinforce the party's already substantial power. Shortly afterward, Parliament approved a government request to postpone once again national elections, originally scheduled...
Admittance to Option III is "convenient" but not all that important. The reporter's niggling question--Would Eliot have gotten in? Would Lowell?--is a ridiculous one.

The hurried Yankee shortstop threw wide and Griffey cruised into second. From there he scored on Tony Perez's single. Perez has driven in at least 90 runs in each of the past ten seasons, yet he is the perennial subject of trade talk. This year Dan Driessen, 25, who was the Reds' designated hitter in the Series, is believed ready to replace...
...doubles matches resulted with more loves than Zsa Zsa Gabor and continued relentless play by Williams. The number one tandem of Liz Livingstone and Abbie Greenbaumme got Jim Ottoed 6-0, 6-0, as did the number three of Melissa Allen and Amy Kuhn. The number two duo of Kathy Coakley and Linda Marr were soundly waxed 6-3, 6-1 to roundout the goose egg parade...
