...column is a mishmash with an uneven history. After Pearson's death in 1969, the heir suffered dry periods in which his output was only soso. Not even Jack Anderson can find an interesting piece of skulduggery every day. So he relates, in tones of breathless outrage, such gossip as a 1970 bit about the then mayor of Tucson, James Corbett Jr., allegedly barging uninvited into a young woman's Washington hotel room and biting her knee (Corbett lost the subsequent election). Anderson also polices the drinking habits of Capitol Hill (he is an abstemious Mormon) and waxes...
...currently has a shortage of some 50,000 physicians. The American Medical Association disagrees. Reporting in the A.M.A. Journal on the results of a yearlong study of medical manpower, Henry Mason of the association's department of undergraduate medical education concludes that the problem is not scarcity but uneven distribution. In South Dakota, for example, there is only one internist for every 12,813 people. In 18 states, there is only one pediatrician for each 20,000. Obstetrician-gynecologists are also unevenly distributed; while the national median is 1 to 11,915, the ratio in ten states is only...
...fact, if any fault is to be found with this production, it lies in the play itself. Kopit's script is uneven, scurrying unpredictably from brilliance to pathos. Some of his lines carry a sublime irony, as in the death speech of Spotted Tail, the young Indian played articulately by Fletcher Word. Bill Fuller's comic Russian Grand Duke Alexis is moved to kill a Cherokee by Bill's pompous and flatulent boasting of his slaughters of the tribe, and shoots the first Indian who comes in sight. Spotted Tail falls dead, and then rises to address the audience...
Above all, it is clear that housing conditions will not be satisfactory until there is a 1:1 ratio of men to women throughout Harvard and Radcliffe. The Harvard-Radcliffe "non-merger" merger brought co-residential living; but far from assuaging the problems of uneven numbers of men and women, it highlighted the intolerable situation perpetuated by Harvard's sexist admissions policy...
...demand. A second group of states adopted laws based on an American Law Institute model code (see map, previous page), which allows abortion to preserve the emotional or physical health of the mother, in cases of fetal abnormality and pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. But the effects are uneven because of differences in local medical policies. Thus it is more difficult to get an abortion in Arkansas than in Kansas, though both follow the A.L.I, model. Courts in three more states-Florida. Vermont and New Jersey-have in recent weeks knocked down restrictive laws. How free abortion will...
