...keep the peace, the U.N. has become to many a cruel delusion. This has rarely been more evident than it was last week as the U.N. debated the India-Pakistan war. While thousands were being killed, the U.N. floundered through 26 hours of procedural arguments, five stillborn resolutions and shrill big power confrontations, including two Soviet vetoes. As the interpreters buzzed the long-winded, angry or pompous phrases, spectators could visualize so many bullets, so many wounds per word: simultaneous translation accompanied by simultaneous death...

The structure of our health care delivery system is such that poor mothers and their infants, in general, get inadequate pre-natal and peri-natal care. Many more infants of poor mothers than of well-to-do mothers are stillborn, born prematurely, ill, or prone to peri-natal infections.

The couple's first child had been stillborn, and both badly wanted a baby. But Garcia's nervousness turned to horror when he saw the boy that was to bear his name. Attached to the lower abdomen of the otherwise healthy, pretty infant was a football-shaped protuberance that carried a partially developed extra pair of legs...
...pants design [Feb. 1] is an obvious and frenzied subterfuge on designers' part, aimed at further discrediting short fashions and finally establishing the stillborn midi, thus maintaining fashion's faltering and sweaty grasp on the American dollar. Even TIME'S pictorial couldn't save the attractive girls from the jellied-thigh look. The love for the greasy till has produced yet another fumble...
