...reference to the Girard case: may I offer my congratulations to Girard's Stateside lawyers, who seem more interested in gaining publicity than in gaining the best trial for their client; to braying Congressmen, who are more interested in "grassroots" support than in the welfare of their country. Finally, my morale will suffer not one whit if Girard is turned over to the Japanese courts. My pride in my country will, however...
YEARS ago, before crushing income taxes, a Wall Street customer's man shrewdly invited a prospective client out to his yacht club, and there, so goes the story, proudly pointed out a dazzling harbor filled with his and other stockbrokers' yachts. "Mighty fine," said the dubious client, "but where are the customers' yachts?" As of last week, with 30 million Americans sailing almost 6,000,000 boats of all kinds in the greatest boating boom of all time, Wall Street's customers-along with U.S. butchers, bakers and candlestick makers-had enough yachts to swamp Wall...
Among variegated practitioners of talk-it-out treatment for emotional problems, Chicago's Psychologist Carl Ransom Rogers, 55, has long been a maverick.

The therapist has been able to let himself go in understanding this client, satisfied with providing a climate which will free the client to become himself...
...climate the center on Drexel Avenue seems an inauspicious setting. Dowdy, poorly maintained and ill-furnished, it enables Rogers to boast: "Anybody can see that most of our money goes on salaries." Each cramped interviewing room contains only a desk and two chairs. The invariable procedure: invite the client to discuss anything at will. This is somewhat like Freudian free association, but with differences on which Rogers lays great stress: no attempt to dredge for harrowing emotional experiences in childhood or to seek cause-and-effect relationships between past experiences and present difficulties...
