...been said that no man is better than his worst ideas. And B.F. Skinner has come up with some real lulus, or so his critics (and they're abundant) claim. They are adjectives like "evil", "fantastic" and "dangerous" when describing him. Their machine gun attacks would probably render most men impotent. They say that his psychology is "vacuous," "unscientific," "irresponsible," "without a psyche" and that it "necessitates an atrophy of consciousness." And many of them are distinguished figures: Noam Chomsky, Thomas Szasz, Rollo May, Carl Rogers and Stephen Spender--to name...

The company was displaced as the industry's sales leader by Safeway Stores in 1973. Before A. & P. can begin its closeout, it must negotiate its way out of myriad store leases and find a way to mollify unions representing the estimated 30,000 workers whose jobs will be threatened. The stores most likely to be shuttered are small ones in the big cities of the East and Midwest...
