...same time, he or she is a loner. Speaking of four assassins he studied, University of Chicago Psychiatrist Lawrence Freedman notes that "their life-styles without exception were chaotic. They led wandering lives without roots and with constantly shifting goals. Neither in their work nor in love were they able to escape their sense of failure." All the experts agree that an assault on the President gives such a person the feeling of identity he has lacked and a sense of importance akin to that of the man he kills. The one who pulls down the Colossus of Rhodes will...
...time to pose with guests like Thailand's Prime Minister Kukrit Pramoj and Iraq's Vice President Taha Moheddin Maruf. More mobile, obviously, is the Chairman's wife, Chiang Ching, 61, who surfaced last week in Shansi province to make her first public speech since the chaotic days of the Cultural Revolution more than five years ago.

"We want to have a legitimate dance program," explained Myra Mayman, coordinator of the Office...
...Required meeting with Harvard officials. In a week filled with tradition, this meeting is a classic. Of course, the coolest people usually choose to sleep through it. But others will crowd into Memorial Hall in search of order in an otherwise chaotic first few days. Rather than inner peace, most freshmen come back shell-shocked. While you're busy wiping sleep out of your eyes, the go-getters are already at work, frantically waving hands, ready to ask questions of the guest lecturer that were prepared months ago. You'll stumble out firm in the belief that you need...
