...billion shutdown scheme that the E.C. and member states plan to sweeten with $3.1 billion more for unemployment benefits and retraining. After last week's fiasco, officials pleaded for more flexibility from Rome. But either way, the lesson is clear: the longer the delay, the more painful the cure...
...Clinton health-care reform proposals, oddly enough, which are prompting cost-benefit analyses across the whole spectrum of U.S. medicine, including treatments for mental illness. Whatever package finally winds its way through Congress, many experts concede that insurance will not be provided for Freud's talking cure. (A 50-min. hour of psychoanalysis costs an average of $125.) Says Dr. Frederick K. Goodwin, director of the National Institute of Mental Health: "It's clear that classical psychoanalysis, which is four to five times a week for a four- to five-year duration, will not be covered...
...Britain, with Europe's loosest labor laws and no minimum wage, shows that flexibility is no cure-all: its jobless rate of 10.3% is similar to Italy's, which has some of Europe's tightest worker protections. No one in Europe much admires the American model, which is equated with slums, homelessness, crime and drugs.

...contrast to the Prince's decadence stands Dr. Willis, the commoner dispatched from Lincolnshire to cure the King. Clive Merrison does a good job of portraying Willis' frustration with and isolation from his aristocratic surroundings. (As the king is recovering, an appalled equerry asks Willis why he has George reading "King Lear" Willis replies tersely, "I didn't know what it was about") But Bennett has no intention of making Willis any more sympathetic than his aristocratic counterparts and Merrison aptly conveys Willis' despotic side...
...many other prominent researchers attending the conference, including Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, did not seem at all convinced that a cure was any closer. Gallo, among others, has failed in efforts to design an effective treatment based on the original discovery of the CD4 receptor. After Hovanessian's talk, Gallo tried to avoid reporters but was finally cornered. "Why is the press so excited about this?" he demanded. "I'm flabbergasted. I thought it was an interesting presentation, but I can't say more than that." Gallo's lack of enthusiasm was + hardly surprising...
