...went on at home and at large; there were reasons for confidentiality between doctor and patient. But the variety of intimate matters now bandied about is without apparent limits. On talk shows like Phil Donahue's, ordinary people regularly recount stories of emotional disturbance, marital discord, incest. Men chat about their vasectomies, women about their hysterectomies. The spectacle of Lyndon B. Johnson flashing his surgical scar to the world, so vulgar at the time, seems comparatively genteel in retrospect...
Muskie and Gromyko will both be in Vienna to participate in ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of the treaty ending the postwar occupation of Austria. Though their meeting is expected to be little more than a polite chat, it has symbolic importance. Not since superpower relations were severely chilled by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan has there been any high-level contact between Washington and Moscow.

Other athletes do not decide to apply until the eleventh hour. Crimson squash captain Michael Desaulniers '80, one of North America's premier racquetment who turned pro three weeks ago, says he applied at the last minute, after a chat with former Crimson squash mentor John M. Barnaby '34 at a tournament just before the deadline. "I didn't have any contact with recruiters," Desaulniers says. But since he carved a name for himself in the annals of collegiate squash, his younger brother has been hotly sought after...
