...were in Szczecin, Poland's biggest seaport. A Radio Sweden reporter named Anders Thunberg described the scene outside party headquarters. "Tanks have made repeated attacks on the crowd," he said in a brief telephone call to Stockholm. "The people had to give way in order not to be run over. But a mother and her young daughter did not manage to get away. A tank at high speed crushed both of them. A young soldier stood by, crying and watching." The demonstrators, mainly from the Warski shipyards, burned police cars and rampaged through the headquarters. They scrawled messages...
Blacklist. By no means a madhouse on a haunted hill, the hospital is run conscientiously by Dr. Duane Sommerness, who since becoming medical superintendent of the institution in 1956, has made notable improvements. When he took over, there were seven doctors for 3,000 patients; now the ratio is 30 to 1,688, with 1,070 other employees, a ratio recommended by the American Psychiatric Association.

Knocking out walls and doors, they built interjoining apartments and a communal nursery, TV room and library. "The apartments open up so that the kids' rooms can run into each other," Ethel explains, "and yet there is still plenty of privacy for adults...
...more money into the economy. That can be done by expanding the budget deficit or increasing the money supply, or by using a combination of both. In either case the President's power is limited. He can increase the budget only if Congress agrees, and he may well run into resistance from Capitol Hill's fiscal conservatives, as well as from Democratic liberals who are not at all eager to help his re-election drive. One possibility is that Nixon will offer only token opposition to spending bills that he dislikes, and allow the budget to tumble...
