Berkeley faces a municipal election as radical groups seek to gain control of the City Council and split the police into three neighborhood units. The race centers on two black and two white radicals among 33 candidates for four council seats, with mayoral hints from Sweeney and Widener and opposition to a police split. City officials note high anticipated turnout amid absentee ballots as the radicals push a broad platform including rent control and income taxes.

EPA to review DDT link to women fertility concerns
Washington AP reports the Environmental Protection Agency will examine new medical suspicions of a link between DDT and delayed fertility in women. EPA Administrator Willard Ruckelshaus said a formal decision on banning the pesticide and four other poisons is unlikely before the official review period, which could last a year or more, due to limited evidence of imminent hazard. Researchers Heinrichs and Gellert from the University of Washington cited rat studies and observed fertility changes among women treated at Heinrichs Clinic, prompting the agency to study the report closely.
