Because patients have some discomfort for two or three days after a vasectomy, the Margaret Sanger Research Bureau in Manhattan schedules all such operations on Fridays; thus the patient will be able to return to work on Monday. The vasectomy patient undergoes no hormonal changes, and if he has fully understood the operation beforehand he should have no emotional problems. His capacity for sexual relations may even be increased, because he no longer fears conception. His sperm, trapped in the testicles, are reabsorbed, and eventually his body manufactures fewer of them. However, some sperm are left "in the pipeline...
...Early this year Troy V. Post, a Dallas insurance millionaire and longtime patron of Ling's, began agitating for a radical shake-up in the conglomerate.

But his scarcely disguised contempt for liberal prescriptions and his skepticism about the possibilities of reform have offended some of his fellow urbanologists who charge that he wants to return to a policy of laissez-faire. Yet his book is an honest, probing attack on a subject that is too often encumbered with tired cliches and rigidities of thought. If nothing else, Banfield has shown that there are other approaches to a consideration of the embattled city. Says James...
Within the next week or so, Burch and his commission are expected to issue a long-overdue solution. It seemed certain last week that the commission will authorize CATV operators to retransmit distant signals and to get into the business of pay TV. In return, they will have to set aside certain commercial time and a percentage of their gross revenues to reimburse weak local UHF stations, U.S. public (educational) television and the Hollywood copyright owners of their relayed shows...
