During his lifetime, Constable painstakingly built his reputation on half-a-dozen large, carefully organized "studio" pictures that he showed at the annual exhibitions of Britain's stuffy Royal Academy. To please contemporary taste, these pictures usually centered on some narrative incident, such as a white horse being ferried across the Stour. But many of the works on view are preliminary oil sketches and studies. Some critics argue that these quick sketches have a freshness and spontaneity that were lost in the labor of producing the larger final pictures...
...many advocates of crisis intervention, the unfortunate effect of hospitalization is a basic article of faith. Their objective is to obstruct the patient's progress to an institution, and they can point to some conditional evidence of success. The annual commitment rate to state mental hospitals from San Francisco, for example, has dropped from 2,887 to 119 in the past four years-a decline in which the city's expanding complex of emergency-treatment centers was a major factor. Grady Memorial Hospital, which opened a crisis center in 1968, now treats 5,000 psychiatric emergencies a year...
...babies born in the U.S. last week, the great majority will grow into normal, healthy children. But 1,600 or so will die before their first birthday-an annual total of 80,000. Anxious to reduce that toll, the Federal Government's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development chose last week-when baby-food manufacturers were celebrating National Baby Week-to stage an Atlantic City seminar with the somber title "Why Babies...
...Seel, who has studied 919 cases of stomach cancer at the Presbyterian Medical Center in Chonju, South Korea, described the annual ritual of making soy sauce and soya paste. Each winter, virtually every household makes loaves of soybean mash and stores them in a cool, dark place, often under the eaves, so that they will get moldy. To make sure that the mold develops, some Koreans buy a pure culture and spread it on their loaves. By early spring, a furry black or gray growth covers the mash. The Koreans scrape off this "exuberant fungus," as Seel described...
Slowly and subtly, that process appears to have begun-in response to the Government's policy of tight money, high taxes and a budgetary surplus. The real growth of the gross national product, not counting mere price increases, dropped from an annual rate of 6.4% in last year's first quarter to 2.8% in this year's first quarter. Even so, a FORTUNE survey shows that businessmen are still in an expansionist mood; 77% of those polled expect further increase in sales over the next twelve months. If the leading indicators prove correct, some abrupt changes...
