...this Truth can be summarized in one of two ways: to such enlightened authors sex is either the symbol of all our society's problems or the answer to them. Thus Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer uses-sex to symbolize action in a world where all action is hopeless though despair must be avoided. On the other hand, in Women in Love D.H. Lawrence declares that only the rejuvenation represented by sex can revive our mechanical society...

The words were prophetic, for last week the long expected Turkish intervention had begun.

...hard fact, a dynamic program would also provide medical supervision and educational training. For the children of such homes cannot and do not get the attention, the training, and the sense of family support that will enable them to enter school confidently and begin the process of education without hopeless handicaps. In one particularly dramatic case, a 4½-year-old boy, already given to wild behavior, was adjudged retarded; not until he was referred by an alert day-care teacher to a pediatrician was he found to be almost totally deaf. Enrolled in a special school, he was discovered...
