...Kentucky Court of Appeals has just upheld that Solomonic decision, but not without severe debate. Speaking for three dissenters, Judge Samuel Steinfeld was troubled by his "indelible" recollection of Nazi Germany's "genocide and experimentation with human bodies." Steinfeld argued that the mother had not demonstrated conclusively that the operation would benefit the retarded brother. "The ability to fully understand and consent," he declared, "is a prerequisite to the donation of a part of the human body...
...incessant sunshine. Or the surfing and the skiing. But there is something transporting about a California Girl; the legs are longer, the eyes clearer, the skin more exuberant. Maybe an out-of-towner can become a California Girl if she comes here early?say at about age three. After that, it's too late. She can be beautiful. And healthy. And sexy. But she can never quite be that combination of maximum looks and minimum restraint, that tranquil body and restive psyche that is the California Girl! As difficult as it is to be a California Girl, it is harder...
Greater Respect. Senator Murphy's target is one of the most ambitious Legal Services programs: the California Rural Legal Assistance project. In three years, CRLA lawyers have won 85% of more than 35,000 cases. Their success has nourished a greater respect for law among the state's rural poor, especially Mexican Americans.

...domestic market promises even more. By 1975, personal income in California will have soared to $110 billion! But David Mahoney, young and relaxed at 46, turns out to be 180° from the kind of executives I know back East. He sits behind a modern oval desk in a palatial three-room suite of offices that he has taken over as board chairman of Norton Simon, Inc., a year-and-a-half-old concern formed from Canada Dry, Hunt Foods, McCall's and other companies. The place is plush?driftwood walls, deep-pile carpet. The whole bit. He smiles and says...
...unemployment is three times that of the whites in Los Angeles. Our economic situation is so bad that less than half of us are able to finish high school. That means we can't even break the language barrier with the whites, so we can't even begin to get the jobs we need?it's a vicious circle, but we'll break it any way we can. We have the leadership now, you know. Suddenly, our people are getting educations. In 1967 only 350 Mexicans were going to U.C.L.A.; now there are a thousand. This can make a revolution...
