...Sinclair-Gieben says his use of hypnosis to cure severe asthma does not necessarily show the ailment to be psychological in origin. Many asthma victims act sicker than they really are, but the Scottish patient was a "welladjusted individual" who displayed "no signs of psychiatric breakdown." Rather, says Sinclair-Gieben, it shows that hypnosis can exert a physical as well as psychological effect: "It is widely believed that conditions responding to hypnosis must of necessity be wholly psychologically determined.

If our future is to be worthy of our past...
...complex prescription to cure the ailing New Haven Railroad-and other money-losing roads as well-was drafted last week for the Interstate Commerce Commission. Written by ICC Commissioner Charles A. Webb and Hearing Examiner Richard S. Ries, the prescription is aimed at curing the New Haven's steadily rising deficit (expected to hit $14.4 million this year), but some of its ingredients are bound to leave a bad taste in the mouth of everyone from New Haven President George Alpert to the extra engineer who goes along for a free ride on diesel runs...
