...villa near the Paris suburb of Gif-sur-Yvette, Kissinger and North Viet Nam's Le Duc Tho quickly arrived at the draft of a nine-point agreement. It was not yet a full accord; some vital details were yet to be filled in. But it constituted a major breakthrough. The plan separated the purely military issues from the political ones; it provided for an in-place cease-fire that would end the major fighting immediately, a U.S. withdrawal and the return of the American prisoners of war within 60 days, and for the establishment of a purposefully vague...
Harshaw soon received congratulatory letters from small-town mayors in Texas and Tennessee. In the Kansas City, Kans., suburb of Westwood (pop. 2,300), Mayor Joe Dennis bounced back a check for $37,000 Westwood, he said, did not need the money.

But the authorities continued the prosecution of the angel maker and of the other women as accomplices. The defense responded by attacking France's anti-abortion law, which forbids the operation except to save a woman's life. Nobel-prizewinning Biochemist Jacques Monod testified that, in his opinion...
...Master's Voice. Perón's lavish, autocratic style in exile does not suggest that he would lead a new order much different from the old. Located in Madrid's most elegant suburb, his rambling, fieldstone mansion, Quinta 17 de Octubre (from the date of his accession to power in Argentina), is tastefully furnished in Spanish style, surrounded by broad lawns, thick shrubbery and 12-ft.-high burglarproof fences.
