...education. But Presidential Counsel Arthur Burns was an early guest of the Governors, and he had more hopeful news. There had been a "little misunderstanding" of Moynihan's remarks, he allowed, and in fact "there would be $8 billion if the war ended today" for use in new or expanded domestic areas...
...Bahamas, a retreat the President favors. Nixon's third house, in Whittier, Calif., where his mother once lived, is a potential profitmaker. The house and lot are valued at $75,000-the mortgage is for $54,400 -but the area has just been rezoned for commercial use, which should enhance its worth considerably...
...coup in Libya (see following story) reduced the number of reigning Arab monarchs to three, and only one of them seems reasonably secure-Morocco's King Hassan II. Jordan's Hussein is under pressure from Palestinian commandos, who use his territory as a base, and from Israeli retaliation. Saudi Arabia's King Feisal forestalled a coup by young air force officers only six weeks ago. Since then, he reportedly jailed hundreds of plotters and condemned 30 to death by beheading...
...advisory committee on obstetrics and gynecology, which conducted the study, did not gloss over the harmful side effects of the Pill. The increased risk of blood-clotting disorders in the 8,500,000 U.S. women who use the Pill, it noted, was 4.4 times the normal risk for women who do not, as against the seven-to ninefold risk that has been suggested by British researchers. These disorders have proved fatal to three out of every 100,000 women using the Pill. The doctors warned, once more, that the Pill should be taken only under a doctor's supervision...
...number of scientists had previously suggested cosmic rays as an ideal weapon to use in the quark hunt. If one of these high-speed bits of matter struck an atomic particle, they calculated, its tremendous energy would accomplish what no man-made atom smasher can do: split that particle into its constituent quarks. A particle with an energy of 200 billion electron volts, for example, might be enough to pry apart the three tightly bound quarks that theoretically constitute a proton. But a machine that can supply such energy will not be available until the AEC completes its giant accelerator...
