...plaintiffs called 40 witnesses, and the trial produced thousands of pages of testimony. For 13 months Judge Dooling, 71, a Roman Catholic and father of five, pondered the legal, religious and medical issues. Last week he issued a 642-page document in which he stopped short of ruling that the Hyde Amendment violated the constitutional separation of church and state. But he reasoned that by exempting medically necessary abortions from the comprehensive Medicaid program, the Government violated at least two constitutional guarantees: the Fifth Amendment rights of religious freedom and individual liberty. Dooling called a woman's freedom...

In an attempt to broaden his shaky political base at home, he announced the formation of a "national unity" Cabinet, giving unprecedented prominence to non-Communist and military leaders. And in an effort to mend regional ties he made flamboyant overtures of friendship to Iran...
Last week a sixth full division of "motorized rifles," as the Soviet army denotes its armored infantry columns, rolled south across the border at Torghondi. It reinforced five other divisions already rooted around every major city in sprawling tent camps that are ringed by 130-mm artillery emplacements. The troops were arrayed around the country in a kind of wheel formation.

One of the four armored divisions, equipped with...
