...establish its charges of conspiracy and obstructing justice against onetime Nixon Cabinet Officers John Mitchell and Maurice Stans. The prosecution seemed to be getting nowhere until last week, when two former high-ranking federal officials who had been at the center of the action took the stand. G. Bradford Cook, onetime counsel and chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and John W.

Even his native Bradford, which Priestley has written about none too kindly, conferred the freedom of the city on him. As for growing old, Priestley explained what it was like: "It is as though walking down Shaftesbury Avenue as a fairly young man, I was suddenly kidnaped, rushed into a theater and made...
...practiced by some 3,000 psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and ministers in the U.S. and 14 foreign countries. In fact, it may be the most widely used and fastest-growing form of treatment for emotional distress in the world. Says Boston's J. Allyn Bradford, a Congregational minister who runs a T.A. training institute called OK World, Inc.: "Tom Harris has done for psychotherapy the same thing Henry Ford did for the automobile: made it available to the average person...
