...nutritional supplements and medical care to low-income expectant mothers. The cuts, say critics, will prove expensive in the long run, because caring for undersize, ailing infants through Medicaid is many times as costly as preventive prenatal measures. In recent years, private organizations and local governments have attempted to fill the gap left by Wiccutbacks. San Francisco's TAPP, a model program that the state plans to extend to other cities, has helped reduce the incidence of low-birth-weight infants to about 4% among the teenagers it counsels, against a national average...
...memories. Director Peter Masterson's style, however, is crushingly realistic. And Page is overwhelming in the worst sense of the word, a steamroller of tics, tricks and mannerisms.

Emigration, a traditional relief valve for hard-pressed Haitians, has been closed off as the U.S. and others have cracked down on illegal immigrants. The Bahamas, for instance, is threatening to send home 40,000 illegal Haitian residents...
Senator Kennedy is smart to drop his ambition to become President of the U.S. After Chappaquiddick, he could not fill the godlike role needed for the presidency. The voters of Massachusetts can continue to elect him to Congress if they wish. James L. Comstock Ellendale, N. Dak. Justice Prevails...
