...suicide was the latest turn in the longest, most sensational terrorist trial that West Germany has known. The daughter of a museum director and once a prominent left-wing journalist, Meinhof, 41, already stood convicted of attempted murder in a 1970 prison raid that freed the gang's other namesake, Arsonist Andreas Baader, and began their paramilitary spree. One year ago she, Baader, now 33, and two other gang members-Jan-Carl Raspe, 31, and Gudrun Ensslin, 33-went on trial for a list of charges that included five counts of murder and 54 of attempted murder. Other Baader...
Full Prisons. While the Secretary's mission was extraordinary, there have been some precedents for this kind of trading with Chile. In 1974 the regime freed 117 prisoners in return for a release of phosphate shipments blocked by Mexico, and another 150 were let go in response to a $50 million investment promised by Rumania. Many such deals would be required to clear Chile's jails of the estimated 5,000 to 6,000 political detainees remaining in them. The regime, which has defended its full prisons on the grounds of continuing danger from Marxist conspirators, has begun...
...patients counseling and other services that help the patient's wellbeing. Says the unit's director, Dr. Robert Johnson, a cancer specialist: "Patients are strangers when they come in.

Such relaxation of rules gives patients an enormous psychological boost. "They don't have the same sense of being sick that other patients have," says Johnson...
...preface to Our Bodies, Ourselvesconcludes, "Learning to understand, accept, and be responsible for our physical selves, we are freed from some of these preoccupations and can start to use our untapped energies. Our image of ourselves is on a firmer base, we can be better friends and better lovers, better people more self-confident, more autonomous, stronger and more whole." The second commercial edition of the book retains that original perspective: it focuses on health care for women, stressing preventive methods, and anything extra is incidental to the information the book offers--though essential to its character...
...those bothersome philosophical definitions, he could reveal the essence of "madness in our time". The result is a huge mass of material, quite interesting in and of itself, but leading to a subjective nowhere, without form or guidance. In avoiding the trap of definitions, he has not freed the idea of madness from limiting perspectives; instead he has made it meaningless it its generality. An inquiry implies that there is a clearly perceived topic and aim: Going Crazy has neither, and we are left to our own conclusions about madness. It is a work of compilation, not of elucidation...
