...Judge Sacotte's opinion, the call girls "have one feature in common: an extraordinary facility in spending money. As a consequence, their legitimate profession -if they have one-never earns them enough. Hence the necessity to obtain extra money through a partner of the moment, announced by telephone and furnished with discretion." The Tolerance. Sacotte also finds that call girls often drop out of the business and then take it up again when in need of extra income. Thus, reasons the judge, there is more hope of eventually winning a call girl back to respectable life than...

To the west, where Ivory Coast's Premier Félix Houphouet-Boigny is having trouble with dissident Sanwi tribesmen, Nkrumah said he is "studying the possibilities of regrouping" the Sanwi people...
Bugaboos. Very soon Lambe and Fowler are forced to grapple with the bugaboos of modern physics-relativity and quantum mechanics-which are often considered too difficult for students who have not had long training in mathematics. Lambe and Fowler believe that although relativity and quantum mechanics may seem "against common sense," they are really the physical facts of life, and had better be brought in quickly. Relativity is lightly touched on in the third week of the course. The relativistic principle that the mass of a body increases with its speed is used to explain why certain particles, e.g., neutrinos...

For in the dialogue, there is no maintaining a point of view but only the common participation in creating perpetually new insight and understanding in a total field of unified awareness...
Ever since Freudian patter became the common currency of the cocktail hour, the idea has been spreading that people who have accidents are "accident-prone." But for a massive group of accident victims-the 8,000 U.S. pedestrians killed each year by motor vehicles-there is no clear medical evidence one way or the other. Last week an American College of Surgeons meeting in Boston learned the results of an intensive and ingenious study that enlisted experts from the New York State Department of Health and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Cornell University Medical College, the office of New York...
