...Pill in its present forms, as sensible an opinion as any was expressed at last week's meeting of the College of Physicians by Dr. Ann Lawrence, a hormone specialist at the University of Chicago. She would not, she said, prescribe it for women with a family history of breast or cervical cancer, or the likelihood of clotting or circulatory problems, or diabetes. "I am one of what I would call the concerned physicians, simply pleading that the drug be used with a certain circumspection," said Dr. Lawrence. "But I wouldn't even try to deny that...
...Houston police force, however, the problem recently assumed particular urgency. It seems that a number of women were asked to identify an exhibitionist. His usual modus operandi was to appear unclad in an apartment corridor, punch a doorbell, stand there grinning when a woman answered-and then run.

Since 1964, her sales have almost tripled to a peak last year of more than $6,000,000. She claims to have 2,000,000 steady customers and ten times as many occasional ones.

(So far, Beate has not tried to capture a share of the U.S. market.) Her book-of-the-month club has just come out with its second selection, Helga and Bernd Demonstrate 100 Love Positions. The $4.95 book is illustrated with photographs...
...grim events took place there that have permanently tarnished the popular American memory of its Puritan past.

Before it was over, the story goes, 19 men and women were convicted and hanged as witches, and one man was pressed to death beneath large rocks for refusing to plead. The tradition holds that the executions were the result of a repressive fanaticism in the Puritan character. Underlying this modern attitude toward the Salem trials is a smug belief that...
