Things did not go well during Strauss's two-hour meeting on Friday with Israeli Premier Menachem Begin. On the matter of most concern to the U.S., how to draw the Palestinians into the current talks on autonomy for the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Begin reiterated his country's position that there must be neither change nor dilution of the Camp David accords...
...working conditions are not nurses' only concern. They want professional advancement. Nursing has long had such specialists as the nurse-midwife and the nurse-anesthetist who assisted at surgery. But since the 1970s, the trend toward specialization has accelerated. Many more nurses are devoting themselves exclusively to coronary care, renal dialysis, burns, neonatal care, cancer, psychiatry, pediatrics, respiratory disease and geriatrics. Called nurse practitioners, they number about 15,000. Some work closely with doctors in special units of hospitals or in offices. Others, particularly in rural areas, where physicians are scarce, practice virtually on their own: for example, Eleanora...
Many nurses from both hospital schools and degree programs echo the doctors' concern. Loretta Chiarelli, head nurse of the emergency ward at Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital Medical Center for twelve years, says that many young college graduates arrive ignorant of routine procedures. Says she: "These skills -let alone complex tasks-just are not easily mastered amid the tensions and emotions of a ward setting." Adds Rita Bellersen, a coronary-care nurse at Veterans Administration Medical Center in Seattle: "We're now telling patients how to rearrange their entire lives. But we're forgetting to change their...
Conducted by Psychiatrist Jon K. Meyer, director of the hospital's sexual consultation program, the study grew out of a concern that many transsexuals seeking surgery ranged in age from 20 to 30 (men outnumbering women 4 to 1). Somehow those over 30 seemed to have lost the desire for it, settling instead for alternate lifestyles. So, in 1971, Meyer began keeping track of his patients' postoperative acceptance of their new gender, using such indicators as job placement, marital success, psychiatric status and police records. Concludes Meyer: the surgery "serves as a palliative measure ... [but] it does...
...American master, with its nocturnal bars and waiting figures. Segal's tableaux have a flavor of the '30s-overlaid, now and then, with a sharp erotic curiosity. Instead of the irony of a '60s Warhol or Lichtenstein, one is treated to an unremitting earnestness, a moral concern with the voids between people and the circumspectness of their gestures. It is a somber sight, this "populist art," as one of Segal's admirers dubbed it; and it gives a special density to the retrospective of 100 works by Segal that is on display at Manhattan...
