...with new elections due early next year, five weak opposition parties last week summoned up their nerve and nominated a candidate to challenge Ayub. The nod went to Fatima Jinnah, sister and collaborator of Mohammed AH Jinnah, the late father of Pakistan independence. Razor-tongued and prickly (she once snubbed visiting Eleanor Roosevelt after a fancied slight), "Miss Jinnah" enjoys such personal prestige that probably no government could silence her-and she has been increasingly critical of Ayub. But she probably represents no great threat to Pakistan's soldier-chief; a political novice and around 70 years old, "Miss...
...Mary's in St. Louis begins teaching Lamaze breathing exercises (slow, deep breathing when contractions begin; shallow panting when they increase) to women in their seventh month of pregnancy. "The babies are born happier when they're delivered the Lamaze way," insists Sister Mary Charitas, a small, peppery nun who also teaches nursing at St. Louis University School of Nursing and Health Services. "They're easier to take care of, they're more alert-probably because the mother has not had medication that would make them sleepy...
...Sister Charitas' observations are based on sound medical theory. Obstetricians are increasingly aware that an overdependence on anesthetics can lead to fetal damage. On the other hand, nobody expects mothers going through natural childbirth to be martyrs. St. Mary's Dr. Carl Dreyer tells all natural-childbirth mothers in the delivery room: "Any time this ceases to be fun, we can give you gas." But a surprising number never ask for it, prefer instead to reap the psychological benefits of wide-awake participation in their baby's birth. "It is common for a natural-childbirth mother right...
...countries will probably get a 25% rise in their assessments, but certain ones that have been doing particularly well of late-such as Japan and West Germany-are expected to be asked to contribute even more. While the IMF met, delegates to the World Bank, the IMF's sister institution, also gathered in Tokyo; over strong objections from the Latin Americans, Filipinos and Iraquis, they approved a plan by which the bank will try to arbitrate expropriations of foreign-owned properties. Despite such accomplishments, the most dramatic development in Tokyo was a dispute-a barefaced attempt by France...
...fine-wrought sister of a close Cambridge friend of Woolf's, daughter of venerable Sir Leslie Stephen (History of English Thought in the 18th Century). Woolf, son of an Anglicized, middle-class Jewish family, was back on leave from seven years' civil service in Ceylon when he chucked his career to become her combination lover (they decided against children because of her health), high priest and nurse. By 1912, when they married, she already had a history of neurasthenia that included two breakdowns and an attempt to throw herself out of a window after her mother...
