...Freud. Inside, the waiting room, office and study where Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 50 years had been restored with much of the original furniture for its opening last week as a museum. There were his cream-colored velour hat, his checkered sports cap, his ivory-handled cane, sent over from London by his psychoanalyst daughter Anna Freud. She could not bear, however, to part with the famed couch.

...Office of Economic Opportunity. At Michigan State University, which runs the nation's biggest college placement operation, all 1,200 copies of each issue of its Vocations for Social Change newsletter are eagerly snapped up. It advertises openings for such jobs as organizers to work with sugar-cane laborers in Louisiana ($70 a week) and a female counselor at Washington, D.C.'s Runaway House ($50 a week plus rent). There was also one offer last fall from a retired accountant in Far Rockaway, N.Y., who wanted to finance two "real drop-outs" in starting a combination school and commune...
