...Sending Governor Rockefeller to Latin America [June 6] is similar to talking of twine in the house of the hanged. The Rockefeller empire stretches from practically one end of Latin America to the other, representing the powerful wealth and prosperity of the U.S. and everything that goes along with it. This "fact-finding mission," nothing more than a gesture of appeasement to Latin America, has become a double slap in the face...
...when a loan company sought to begin recovery of a debt from Christine Sniadach of Milwaukee by taking $31.59 from her $65 weekly pay, she ap pealed to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund for help. Wisconsin's garnishment statute, similar to those in 16 other states, allows a creditor to tie up as much as 50% of a salary earner's wages even before a debt has been proved. Often, far more than a weekly bite is involved; the U.S. Department of Labor estimates that employers fire between 100,000 and 300,000 workers each year...
...scientists devised increasingly subtle experiments to test Einstein's predictions, the General Theory withstood all challenges But no one was able to check Einstein's conclusion that massive celestial bodies accelerating in space or undergoing cataclysmic events should give off gravitational radiation, a form of energy similar to radio waves that travels at the speed of light. This week, after more than a decade of work, University of Maryland Physicist Joseph Weber offered the first convincing physical evidence of that elusive gravitational energy...
...While the women have more accidents per mile, their smashups are less serious and 20% less costly to settle. Women tend to clobber fence posts and rear bumpers; men often hit other cars head-on and at higher speeds. A separate survey by the World Health Organization made similar findings. Says Robert Pansard, a French safety official who participated in the WHO study: "Although women are perhaps more emotional, they do not possess the drive for power which often becomes aggressiveness in male drivers." They also do not drive as much at night or on dangerous rural roads...
...appearance, Sharif is astonishingly similar to Che, and Palance's broken-nosed, cigar-chomping cobra is as close to Castro as any American is likely to get. It is a pity that the actors could not grow insight or force along with their beards. Palance's circular hand motions and staccato vocalizing recall Cagney rather than Castro. Sharif's acting is not lively enough to be considered passive; his revolutionary ardor is expressed by a narrowing or widening of his large, liquid eyes...
