...Thank heavens that at last it's beginning to look as though women will be given the opportunity to decide whether or not to bear children. I sometimes wonder how many young girls "in trouble" have gone off to meet an abortionist in some warehouse -sometimes to bleed to death-because of the stupidity of the abortion laws. How many thousands of kids have gotten married because "they had to"? How many children were born into families where they just weren't wanted...
...Army last week began investigating its own investigation of the My Lai massacre. Two floors below ground level in the Pentagon's Army Operations Center, Lieut. General William R.

Officers contend that too many of the most prominent critics of the war simply do not understand Viet Nam or the nature of the fighting there. If the military gets around to publicly pinpointing scapegoats, it will undoubtedly cite the U.S. press. There...
...cannot do." That was Mao's call to accelerate the Great Leap Forward, which soon turned into a great lurch backward. China is only now beginning to recover from the chaos created by the Great Leap and the Cultural Revolution. In large part its future depends on whether Mao's successors will be able to achieve his lifelong dream of harnessing the fervent tides of China to build a modern society...
