...SAVING graces to Ms. It does credit its readership with having brains. A section in each issue ("Gazette") printed on newsprint rather than glossy paper, deals with issues of legislative and judicial reform as they relate to women all over the country. This month "Gazette" reports on an emergency shelter for the families of alcoholics in Los Angeles, the fight of a woman in Ohio to be the manager of a Union 76 gas station...
...such awful solitude, they would have nothing to do but ponder their acts, repent and reform. By 1825, New York had begun an entire penal system that combined individual cells and total silence with floggings, hard labor in fields and quarries, undeviating routine, and subsistence level food and shelter.

Attorney Thomas ("Tommy the Cork") Corcoran watched General Douglas MacArthur and his aide Dwight Eisenhower ride off to disperse this pitiful army on the Anacostia flats. New Dealer Abe Fortas came down as a kid lawyer...
...mountains, the himals (snow peaks) and the foothills affect the life of every person in Nepal. They shelter the country from icy Tibetan blasts in the winter and protect it from the severity of the monsoon in summer. Not only do they contribute a large part to the extraordinary beauty of this small kingdom, but they also shape many of the religious beliefs of the Nepalese...
