...reply. Johnson was right. Despite her wounds, Marilyn Rohs informed police that she thought she could identify her assailants, especially the tall one. She mentioned a plumber who had done work at the Rohs apartment, and a search there uncovered a receipt for plumbing work signed by Johnson. He was picked up, and his arrest led police to Smith. Separately, the two suspects were brought to Marilyn Rohs' hospital bed, where she identified each in turn. Although Marilyn Rohs is now dead, her identification may help convict her accused killers...
Just in time for Christmas, President Nixon last week signed the Child Protection Act of 1969, a new law giving the Government the right to ban toys that pose "electrical, mechanical or thermal" hazards to youngsters. Now the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare will be able to banish from the market such presently available items as a blowgun that allows the darts to be inhaled, a soldering set that exposes a child to molten lead, a tot-sized cookstove generating heat up to 600"', an electric iron with inadequate grounding, a catapult device launching a bird with...
...however, Apollo 12's situation was changed drastically. Conrad fired the 20,500-lb.-thrust service propulsion engine and sent his ship into a "hybrid" trajectory. The new flight path was necessary to set the astronauts down at their landing site on the Ocean of Storms at the right time of lunar day.

But, even so, it might miss the earth by 56,000 miles, marooning the astronauts in eternal orbit around...
Aware of Sato's domestic difficulties, the U.S. is prepared to offer to turn the islands over to Japan by 1972, giving up the U.S. right to store nuclear weapons there but retaining the bases, which are vital to the American defense system in the Pacific. Such an agreement will not satisfy Sato's foes at home. Demanding nothing less than the immediate and unconditional return of Okinawa, 146 Japanese and Okinawan leftist intellectuals charged that Sato's trip was a cover-up for a U.S. military buildup on the island...
...feminists have solid legal grounds for other actions. Partly as a joke, Congressman Howard W. Smith of Virginia, then 81, added "sex" to the section of the 1964 Civil Rights Act that prohibited employment discrimination on the basis of "race, color, religion or national origin." There was a good deal of laughter, but the House passed the bill. It has taken a while for feminists to grasp what they can do under Title VII, but charges of discrimination against women in business and industry account for about 7,500 of the 44,000 complaints filed so far with the Equal...
