Give Bishop Rausch an A for effort re his plan to avert divorce in Phoenix [July 16]. The Newark archdiocese has tried the same for five years with, at best spotty results. The fact is, the young and not so young lovers determined to marry are going to do so, come hell or high priest. Life's toughest act is to live permanently with another; the surprise is that so many marriages hold firm. This I do know: God will be more merciful to the divorced than Catholic...
...resignation of all 34 Cabinet members and top aides. He started the week by requesting a meeting with his entire staff. Some 300 of them crowded into the East Room on Monday afternoon, and those who could not fit in watched over closed-circuit television. Despite the fact that Rosalynn and new Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan were publicly defending him, Carter conceded that he might have acted too abruptly.

New faces like Steve Renko have been struggling for recognition right from February 15, and they have produced better than even...
Perhaps so. But Psychiatrist Arthur K. Shapiro of Manhattan's Mt. Sinai Medical Center points out that the placebo effect may also be influenced by attitudes of patient and doctor toward drugs and, perhaps more important, toward each other. In fact, says Shapiro, who has collected hundreds of the "useless" nostrums over the years, patient confidence in a physician may be a kind of placebo too, increasing chances of improvement...
