UNTIL 18 months ago an American woman in virtually all the states could get a legal abortion only to save her life, and only after surmounting forbidding legal obstacles. Since then, five states have liberalized their punitive 19th century abortion laws. They now permit therapeutic abortions to be performed if the physical or mental health of the mother is in danger or if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.

Saturday afternoon, as the other majorettes giggled and primped for the night's festivities, Temple Drake became as one with Paul of Harvard Divinity and Ray of Boston U. and Mike...
...when you walk the streets of Lagos, you have to look hard for signs of war. True, between radio and T.V. shows sinister-sounding announcers say, "Challenge anyone doing anything suspicious.
