...provide quick, indisputable and fair compensation for victims' families in the future, Kennelly suggests a system of no-fault insurance. Uniform guidelines would be established that would specify the settlement for each heir, weighing the same factors - victim's age, income and so forth - that a court now considers before making awards. Kennelly acknowledges at least one consequence of hi proposal: "If they standardize awards, it does away with...
Conducted by Psychiatrist Jon K. Meyer, director of the hospital's sexual consultation program, the study grew out of a concern that many transsexuals seeking surgery ranged in age from 20 to 30 (men outnumbering women 4 to 1).

Paul Bowles is a Renaissance man born into an age that applauds specialization. Doing several things very well indeed has, paradoxically, brought him less public acclaim than he might have received had he stuck to one. Bowles, 68, has been a distinguished composer; in 1947 Musician Virgil Thomson called him "America's most original and skillful composer of chamber music." He has written music for the stage, particularly for the plays of his friend Tennessee Williams. He has also been a tireless collector of folklore and legends, especially from Morocco, where he has lived on and off since...
