WHILE THE QUOTATION FROM ME ["a martini before dinner can put a new face on things"] IN THE LICENSED BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES' PAMPHLET ON WHICH YOU REPORT [MAY 27] IS CORRECT, AND IS TAKEN FROM MY BOOK "BEYOND ANXIETY," I MUST POINT OUT THAT IT IS SET IN THE CONTEXT OF A CHAPTER WHICH WARNS AGAINST THE DANGERS BOTH OF ALCOHOLISM AND OF ESCAPE FROM INNER PROBLEMS BY THE USE OF ALCOHOL...
Democratic Cook County Treasurer Herbert C. Paschen, 51, last fall hired Banker Edmund Burke to investigate and correct the "horse-and-buggy" accounting system used in his Chicago office. He had considerable reason: press charges of a kickback "welfare fund" (which Paschen denied collecting) had just forced Paschen from the governor's race (TIME, Sept. 10). Another kick would be likely to finish him politically...
...Twenty One last week rocked under a rhubarb that had even the head croupiers puzzled. Playing their sixth tie game in four weeks, at a husky $3,500 a point, Greenwich Village Artist Jim Snodgrass, 34, and Medical Research Consultant Hank Bloomgarden, 28, both answered correctly a ten-point question on European royalty, then went for the tough eleven-pointer: Name the five groups of bones in the human spinal column (see diagram).

It goes to a fundamental U.S. proposition: that labor and management, through their mutually honest efforts at collective bargaining, shall both thrive in a free economy. It was to correct a management-weighted imbalance that the Wagner Labor Relations act (John McClellan voted for it) was passed in 1935. But that, in turn, created an equally oppressive, labor-weighted imbalance that even the Taft-Hartley law (McClellan voted for it, too) failed to remedy. Unchecked by restraining laws, some labor leaders...
...Correcting the Wind. Last week, in obedience to Mao's strictures, Red China's fourth cheng feng ("correct the wind") campaign was in full swing, and the flowers of criticism were springing up like dandelions. In Shanghai long-leashed newsmen publicly demanded that they be given "facilities" to report "actual situations" in the local bureaucracy, and in Peking emboldened students called for the withdrawal of the Communist control group in Peking University. (This development so unnerved the university's dean that he threatened to resign.) Meantime, all over China party dignitaries dutifully turned to toil...
