...central thesis of T.A., as Harris teaches it, stems from Psychiatrist Alfred Adler's concept of a universal "inferiority feeling." Most people, Harris says, never stop thinking of themselves as helpless children overwhelmed by the power of adults. For that reason they go through life believing that they are inferior, or "not OK," while they view everyone else as superior, or "OK." The aim of T.A. therapy is to instill the conviction that "I'm OK-you're OK," meaning that no one is really a threat to anyone else and that in the end everything comes...
Until recently, osteopathic schools accepted candidates with poorer educational qualifications than did ordinary medical schools and gave inferior training, with excessive emphasis on spinal manipulation. That is no longer generally true. Most of the nation's seven surviving osteopathic schools have raised their standards and incorporated more general medical subjects in their curriculums. Their graduates are permitted the same professional privileges as M.D.s in all 50 states. Moreover, in 36 states, including Georgia, osteopaths must pass exactly the same examination as M.D.s before they can be licensed to practice. Oliver passed such an exam in Georgia...
...Horner thinks in terms of one undergraduate body, she also believes that women have special needs which require separate attention.

Individuals pay higher commissions than the institutions do, and many feel that they get inferior research service from brokers. Some also fear that the institutions profit from inside information not available to the small investor. The Equity Funding scandal this spring did nothing to allay that suspicion; some institutions got rid of their stock before news broke that an insurance subsidiary of Equity Funding had been falsifying its books...
...researchers found that Rulison cost a total of $11 million but yielded gas that would be worth only $1.5 million-if it were uncontaminated and of high quality. Unfortunately, the gas released by Rulison is chemically inferior to gas from conventional wells in the same field and contains excessive amounts of radioactive byproducts like tritium. The cheapest way to correct those faults, the AEC says, would be to mix one unit of the contaminated Rulison gas with up to 50 units of high-quality nonradioactive gas. But to do so would require an abundance of uncontaminated natural gas, which...
