Indira's party took over the West Bengal government because the Communists, who won a dominant role in the government in the elections, encouraged workers to strike and imprison their employers in their offices. To oust the Reds, Congress threw its support to a defecting coalition minister, who formed a new government. In Haryana, the legislators switched parties with such rapidity that the workings of the government were paralyzed. New Delhi placed the state under direct "President's rule" and ordered new elections to be held after a one-year cooling-off period. Though two religious parties managed...

Besides feeling a moral obligation to help the poor, businessmen support the spending for the sound economic reason that it will upgrade the nation's manpower resources and create new consumer markets.

...spent nine months in jail for sheltering Bonnie. She engaged Attorneys Jim Martin and Clayton Fowler (previous client: Jack Ruby) to sue Warner Bros, for $1,025,000. The film, it is alleged, "blackened" the memory of Bonnie and injured the reputation of Billie Jean, who offers some support of the claim: "One time Bonnie's leg was burned real bad in a car wreck.

But in the past four decades, as the water level has fallen, the structure has settled 3 ft. 7 in. Cracks have appeared in walls and ceilings, and postwar smog has corroded the soft green lava rock used by Wright for the building's fantastic ornamentation. Concluded one recent visitor, Novelist Anthony West: the hotel...
Primitive Version. To support this hypothesis, Martin points out that the large mammals that perished during the Late Pleistocene had survived previous advances and retreats of the ice sheets. And although scientists generally agree that the major climatic changes of the past 50,000 years occurred at approximately the same time throughout the world, the disappearance of species did not. Thus the antlered giraffe disappeared from Africa more than 40,000 years ago, and the rhino-sized Diprotodon and giant kangaroo became extinct in Australia about 14,000 years ago. In Europe and Asia, the woolly rhinoceros and the woolly...
