...editorship, was sold to the founders of Psychology Today, who split it into four monthlies dealing with education, science, the arts and "the society." Cousins disagreed with that strategy and walked out. By 1973 the fragmented SR was in bankruptcy and Cousins strode back in. He restored the old formula but not the old form. In 1977 a new investor group took over, and in 1978 Cousins reduced his role to that of columnist...

But such a settlement will only bring a new set of problems to the fore. The U.S. will then have to work out some formula for an Israeli withdrawal from a neutralized Lebanon. The goal, after that, will be to revive the long-stalled negotiations on autonomy for the Palestinians living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip...
