...deposed President Sukarno, 66, but the forces of evil have conspired to keep them apart. While she waited, Ratna Sari Dewi, 27, the Bung's fifth wife, has been living in Tokyo for ten months, but now even Japan has become unbearable. "What with all that smear about me in Japanese weeklies, I haven't had a day of repose," complained Dewi, disclosing that she had filed suit against the publisher of a novel about a former nightclub hostess who marries an Asian President. For consolation, Dewi has packed up six-month-old Kartika Sari and flown...
...Smear." "Senator Long has misused his investigating subcommittee-first, as an instrument for trying to keep Jimmy Hoffa out of prison; subsequently, after Hoffa went in, to get him out," wrote LIFE'S William Lambert. He catalogued Long's friendships with Missouri Teamsters, his excessively fervent praise for Hoffa at a Miami Beach Teamster convention last year, his subcommittee's apparent fascination with whether federal agents had illegally bugged telephone conversations between Hoffa and one of his lawyers-a charge that, if proven by the committee, might possibly have freed Hoffa...

By this semantic smear you justify another U.S.-subsidized rightist regime rejected by the populace in national elections. Your version of the coup imperils the life of Andreas Papandreou in a cynical "treason" trial...
...determine just where it is. Cervical cancer, he notes, is found not only in older women but in young women, who may, as a result, lose their chance of motherhood. He cites the case of a woman in her early 20s, soon to be married. The Pap smear taken at a premarital examination discloses some suspicious cells. Since their source is not precisely pinpointed, standard practice would demand removal of sizable cone-shaped sections of tissue from the cervix and perhaps its entire lip, with the danger of forming scar tissue that could close off the uterus and leave...
