...common as it is serious. Dr. Connell is experimenting with a one-every-day "minipill." It consists of chlormadinone acetate, a synthetic that resembles progesterone and works in much the same way, but in doses only a quarter or half as big as those in even the smallest of the usual pills. Menstrual periods arrive regularly after a few months. The unwanted pregnancy rate is less than 2%, and a woman, knowing that she has to take the pill every day of the year, can forget about counting days...
...nothing else, Skoda's snappy, rugged little family compact, the 1000 MB, proves that Communism can at least try to compete in highly competitive western auto markets. Where such products as Russia's Zil and East Germany's Trabant have failed to make even the smallest dent in the Western market, Skoda's 1000 MB has become increasingly popular on roads from Cologne to Christchurch, N.Z. Last year Skoda turned out 77,000 of the cars, up from 60,000 in 1965. Nearly half were exported to the West, bringing in more than $30 million...
...Stanislav Gvoth, alias Stan Mikita (the family name of his aunt and uncle in Ontario, with whom he went to live in 1948), is one of the smallest centers in the N.H.L. -and the best.

Mikita should have no trouble winning it back this year. Against the Detroit Red Wings last week...
...after country splashing cold water on overheated economies, icicles have started forming. After clipping along at a 5.6% pace in 1964, the Continent's overall economic growth rate dropped to 4% in each of the past two years, is likely to slow down in 1967 to 3.5%-the smallest increase in more than 15 years. And in many countries, incipient recession is a worse threat than inflation...
...Federal Court of Appeals' ruling last week that Massachusetts' congressional districts are malapportioned is an unusually strict, but justified, application of the Supreme Court's "one man, one vote" edict. The population difference between the State's largest and smallest congressional districts is 102,626 people, an imbalance which many apportionment experts do not consider extreme. The Federal Court, however, noted that when the General Court re-apportioned the state in 1962 it rejected two other apportionment plans which would have kept the maximum difference of population beteen any two districts to 50,000 people. Last Wednesday's decision, with...
