...fight pits Prime Minister Indira Gandhi against the party's so-called "Syndicate," a closely knit group of conservative big-city bosses. The issue is the political direction of the party. Ever since she took over three years ago, Indira has attempted to push Congress toward the socialist goals ordained by earlier leaders, including her father Jawaharlal Nehru. But she has run into opposition from disapproving party right-wingers, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Morarji Desai, her sole rival in the 1966 and 1967 party elections for the premiership. The right-wingers feel that Indira...
Originally, Juan Carlos insisted that he would never accept the throne as long as his father was alive. But last January, in an interview with Spain's official news agency, he remarked that he had come to lean toward "political legality." The Prince meant he accepted the view that Franco was empowered under the present constitutional framework to restore whomever he wished to Spain's throne.

Progress in the North. Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, the Scandinavians were making substantial progress toward creating their own economic alliance. After two weeks of final and frenetic discussions, representatives of Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland emerged with a detailed blueprint for a Nordic Economic Community, dubbed Nordek.

They use jazz, pop and rock as freely as the latest serial and electronic techniques. Like Henry Mancini, who started the trend toward mod sound in the late '50s, they know when to support the plot if the characters are of secondary importance, and vice versa. Schifrin has a deft jazz touch that only Mancini and Jones can match, although his personal leaning is toward Latinesque blues. Schifrin's version...
...sudden death runs a predictable if painful course. After the loss, surviving family members may suffer from such psychosomatic complaints as gastrointestinal or respiratory problems. They are also likely to pass through a series of other disorders, from visions of the dead person to guilt feelings to hostility toward life itself. Psychologists who have studied grief recognize the importance of community support for bereaved persons. Sadly enough, even well-meaning family and friends are often unable to provide it-partly because of their own embarrassment over the subject of death...
