A wheeler-dealer, he is forever organizing parties and picnics, likes to sit in on jam sessions at the local jazz club...
...promising to put up 10,000 more billboards with such slogans as "Use the Loop" and to show slides at intermissions in 5,000 movie theaters. For the vast propaganda drive that it needs, however, a mere $1,330,000 has been budgeted. So uncertain is the trumpet for birth control in India that the official most responsible for selling the urgency of contraceptives-Health and Family Planning Minister Sushila Nayar-believes that the best approach is brahmacharya, monklike abstinence...
