Many doctors have nonreligious reasons for their reluctance to perform abortions. Dr. Robert Hall, associate professor of gynecology and obstetrics at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, believes that some doctors resent laws allowing the woman to decide on abortion because they limit the physician's "godlike role." Many doctors also find the procedure alien to their experience. Hall estimates that before the New York law took effect, the typical specialist performed only one or two therapeutic abortions a year; much of his practice was devoted to assisting a normal delivery...
...success spoiling Vida Blue? Not according to his teammates. Though it would be easy enough to resent him (when Finley gave Blue the Cadillac, one pitcher cracked: "If I win four games do you think Charley will give me a Honda?"), Oakland First Baseman Mike Epstein reflects the sentiments of all: "He's got it.

Among the uninvited were Syndicated Columnist Eugenia Sheppard and various disgruntled experts from France's influential Le Monde and a leftist daily called Combat.

...Civil War. The North-South split among the Presbyterians is exacerbated by differences in theology and de facto racial practices. Blacks in the Northern church recently barred consideration of reunion until at least 1973 because of what they see as lingering bigotry in some Southern congregations.
