...river restocks itself with fish. There was, however, one possible benefit from last week's case of poisoning. It might well shock the four major Rhine countries-West Germany, The Netherlands, France and Switzerland-into adopting anti-pollution controls that could change the river back from a septic tank into the lovely waterway it once...
Wrecking Ball. After a series of sexual skirmishes, Joe finds himself smack in the middle of the country he left: despair. As he wanders, he comes upon Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman). A septic, crippled thief, Rizzo lives, like his nicknamesake, in the upper reaches of a condemned building, waiting for the wrecking ball. In a sense it has already arrived.

That is largely because a woman who chooses not to use the Pill has other alternatives for avoiding pregnancy-such as the diaphragm, foam...
Working in groups of up to twelve, the Rondónists gave medical help and teaching assistance, provided engineering expertise, formed cooperatives to make bricks and build roads.

At an abandoned road-construction camp in north-central Brazil, one crew even started a town called Vila Rondón that now boasts a new school and other municipal services for 5,000 people...
...been dramatic, as opponents of liberalization had forecast. No city in a state with a liberalized law has become "the abortion capital of the U.S." In fact, the increase in numbers has been too small even to make an appreciable dent in the number of illegal, dangerously septic abortions, as some proponents of the laws had hoped they would. While the experience of these states offers useful guidelines for other legislatures that will consider liberalizing bills in their next sessions, it contains no simple solution to the abortion problem...
