Perversion and Prejudice. An English policeman named Merrick, who also had his eye on Daphne, arrests six Indians and Kumar. A jealous Merrick assumes that the Englishwoman was the victim of a rape organized by Kumar. But when Miss Manners says that Merrick has the wrong men and refuses to testify, a conviction is impossible. Still it is clear to the English community that Merrick has done his job well, and there is no outcry when he manages to have Kumar and his friends imprisoned as political unreliables.

But last week both the House and Senate easily nullified his veto of a health-services bill that provides $2 billion for such needs as nurses training, community mental-health centers and rape prevention.
