Picture Payments. The rest of the morning passed peacefully enough-until shortly before noon, when John ducked out to shop for a present for his girl friend's birthday. He had spotted just the thing a few days earlier in a nearby department store: a $1.49 Protectalarm-a battery-operated siren designed to be carried in a woman's purse...
...significant share of the votes of Northern Ireland's Catholic minority. Fed up with the ineffectiveness of their own Nationalist Party, some Catholics turned instead to the new People's Democracy Party, which has taken on the job of battling for civil rights. Most of the rest refused the chance to vote for a pro-O'Neill Protestant and stuck with Catholic candidates of whatever party label...
...there were 22,256, and it is expected that the total for the first twelve months will go to at least 35,000, possibly to 50,000. Even though as many as 15,000 of these operations this year may be performed in private hospitals and nursing homes, the rest are imposing a heavy burden on NHS gynecologists.

"As one who savors a good obscenity," says Roy M. Fisher, editor...
...city's insularity does not really worry Promoter Seltzer all that much. The rest of the country knows all too well what he is doing. Take Atlanta, for example. Last week 3,600 Roller Derby fans jampacked Municipal Auditorium to watch the touring San Francisco Bay Bombers battle the New England Braves. The fundamentals of the game were easy enough to grasp: with men and women alternating, two teams of five skaters each circle a banked oval track in a tight cluster. Then one or two skaters from each team break from the pack and attempt to score points...
