...faintly ludicrous scene in which adultery is discussed as a venture in mental health and an experiment in scientific objectivity. Dr. Edmund Darrell (Ben Gazzara) agrees to sire her child. Unfortunately, the guinea pigs, as they call themselves, fall in love. But to save Sam's sanity, the child is raised as Sam's son. and grows to hate his real father. Years pass. Sam bloats with pride. Darrell shrivels with self-contempt, and Nina pins her heart on her son's sleeve until a flapper (Jane Fonda) steals...
...Guinea, once regarded as a foothold of Soviet penetration of Africa, Russia's stock fell to a new low with L'affaire Svetlana. It had to do with a blonde Russian exchange teacher named Svetlana Ushakova. Against embassy instructions, she persisted in making friends with the natives, and ignored orders that she return to Russia. Fortnight ago, she was hustled to a Moscow-bound plane, only to be rescued by the Guineans themselves.

The rebellious army has been subdued and assuaged by the prospect of a new technological role, even if many officers complain that they did not choose a military career to become "technicians...
...pipes are bad enough in the raw. But sunlight sets up photochemical reactions involving such chemicals as ozone (a deadly poison) and nitrogen dioxide (an insidious and lethal gas when it hits the lungs). U.S. Public Health Service Toxicologist Sheldon Murphy neatly proved the perils of sunlight by exposing guinea pigs to city-street concentrations of exhausts. Unirradiated, the gases did little harm; after exposure to artificial sunlight, they made the animals sick, several of them fatally. In Los Angeles, automobiles spew out almost 80% of the smog-producing hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, and the afterburners now being compulsorily installed...
