...Nurses. And, this season, witness CBS's Medical Center. One minor problem seems to be that the scriptwriters are running out of diseases. In this week's premiere, for example, O. J. Simpson plays a guest role as an All-America college halfback desperately trying to suppress symptoms of a mystery ailment lest it jeopardize a $500,000 pro offer.

There were even rumors that archconservative elements in the Czechoslovak party might provoke serious outbursts in order...
THOUGH water cannon and police truncheons kept last week's demonstrations in Czechoslovakia under control, mere force is not likely to suppress other aftereffects of last year's invasion. Reflecting on the developments of the past twelve months, TIME Correspondent, Jerrold Schecter reports from Moscow: "The invasion of Czechoslovakia is now regarded as an overt admission of the inability of the Soviet leadership to accept and deal with political and economic change in the Communist world.
