...distaste for "getting involved," and the story of people standing by passively while someone is being beaten up has become almost a newspaper cliche. But for every such incident, there are a series of uncelebrated acts of bravery performed to help others or to defend the right. Psychiatrists are apt to point out that such spontaneous heroes may be motivated only by suppressed anxiety or a desire for violent action. The soldier who flings himself on a grenade is simply reacting to a "subconscious impulse toward self-destruction" or because "identification with the group supersedes his own ego." It seems...
...during the past year. A Hollywood mogul, a Broadway producer and a noted drama critic all agree that 60% of stage and screen performers are using it. Los Angeles has a dance joint called The Trip, and until recently featured one called Lysergic a Go-Go. "Acid heads" are apt to "turn on" in walk-up pads and ride-up penthouses-but seldom in slums, where people want their escape straight rather than disguised as "insights" or "breakthroughs." LSD so far is strictly a middle-class phenomenon...
...first American killed fighting Communism in Greece in 1949 to the first American to die in South Viet Nam in 1961, was a fitting reminder of the role in which the U.S., like it or not, has been cast since the end of World War II.*It was particularly apt at a time when the nation was involved in its biggest and most bitterly disputed venture since Korea.

Still, it was awfully apt, as two blue-uniformed New York policemen piled out of a prowl car in front of Philanthropist Mary Lasker's Beekman Place town house at 1:05 in the morning. The complainant was an unidentified neighbor lady, whatever her politics, and she was finding it kind of hard to sleep, what with Dutch Adler's rhythms blaring from the open windows and most of the 110 partygoers thunderously doing all those modern dances. "Would you close a couple...
...universities and the University of Chicago, schools that produce one-third of the nation's Ph.D.s, recently agreed in principle on the awarding of a similar "all-but-dissertation" degree, jokingly called the A.B.D. and more formally termed the Certificate of Candidacy, pending agreement on a more apt name. The aim, says Northwestern Graduate Dean Robert Baker, is to "impress the educational world with the validity of this stage of training." The Graduate Council at the University of California's Berkeley campus is studying a faculty recommendation to offer a similar degree to be called a Doctor...
