...York's new "abortion on demand" law, the most liberal in the nation, becomes effective this week. It authorizes the operation in the first months of pregnancy provided only that a woman and her own physician agree upon it. Virtually all the state's general, nonsectarian hospitals have been planning for A-day as elaborately, and with as much foreboding, as they would have for Dday. In one sense their fears may be justified. New York City alone expects 50,000 to 100,000 of its residents to apply for abortions each year and faces the possibility that...

Just who started the battle between the swaggering guerrillas and Jordanian soldiers loyal to Hussein is unclear. The guerrillas were members of the ultra-militant Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is led by a radical Arab Christian physician named George Habash, an exponent of terror tactics against civilians, including children. In the small town of Zarka, twelve miles north of Amman, quarrels broke out between guerrillas and soldiers of the Saiqa (Thunderbolt) Regiment, a unit especially faithful to Hussein. Both sides were armed, and the confrontation quickly expanded into episodes of violence. By the time it ended...
