...technique, they organized Philadelphia's Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. The therapy is based on a highly disputed hypothesis. According to the Doman-Delacato theory, impairment of speech, vision and manual skills can be caused by the interruption of a child's normal progress from creeping to crawling to walking. Discarding standard evaluation systems and using an elaborate diagnostic scheme of their own, Doman and Delacato classify retarded children in three questionable "profile" groups: 1) truly brain-injured. 2) psychotic, 3) genetically brain-deficient. They treat children in any of these groups who have presumably skipped...
...home for daily periods ranging up to twelve hours-between follow-up visits to the I.A.H.P. at 30-to 90-day intervals. In more severe cases of mental and physical retardation, treatment begins with physical manipulation of the limbs by therapists, then parents and family friends, to simulate creep-crawl-walk movements. Usually, at least three people are needed to put the child through his paces, and the therapy must be carried out in five-minute sessions, four times a day, seven days a week...

The average visitor, ushered through the five galleries annexed to the Winnetka chateau belonging to Retailing Executive Robert Mayer, 57, wishes he had brought along his sunglasses: more than 450 works of op, pop, ob, blob, kinetic and frenetic art jump, creep, twitch, jiggle or blaze from every conceivable wall and cranny.

For, as Mayer is the first to admit, he has something of a glass...
...than the old. Simple to operate and light enough to carry from place to place, they give the enemy what amounts to a mobile long-range artillery that he can use to strike at will at practically any target in South Viet Nam. Before, the Communists were forced to creep within a mile or so of their target in order to hit it with mortar fire, thus exposing themselves to detection by allied patrols. Now, using their new weaponry, they can send shells crashing into U.S. bases from as far away as seven miles, well beyond the range...
