None of these methods can "cure" autism, the researchers warn. The best that therapy can do now is abate the worst symptoms, allowing children to remain at home with their parents and attend special schools that serve the braindamaged, the retarded, and children with other mental conditions that are more amenable to treatment than autism. The parents of autistics, who make up most of the N.S.A.C.'s 700 members, are lobbying to force all states to provide this kind of care through the public schools. So widespread is the feeling that children with severe mental illness can never...
...hotly contentious Hawaii-route case to a characteristically unsatisfactory close. Where only Pan American, Northwest and United Airlines have competed in the past, eight carriers will now vie for a share of the market. As a result, profits on the Hawaii run are likely to be marginal at best.

So they sought his advice, followed his call to Washington and, when they had new securities to market, brought them to him at Goldman, Sachs & Co., the investment banking house in which Weinberg was senior partner...
...their economy has to make the jarring transition from super-precocious adolescence to maturity. At home, Japanese consumers complain that they have been left behind in the scramble for export markets, and they are clamoring for more of the rewards of industrial expansion. Abroad, many of Japan's best trading partners are becoming increasingly impatient with the way that its businessmen flood the world with exports while keeping their own economy insulated from foreign goods and capital. These new problems confuse and disturb the Japanese. Kiichi Miyazawa, a leading economist, sums up the mood: "For years, our people learned...
