This kind of training, practitioners of TM insist, cannot be given in a book. Indeed, readers of the Bloomfield book are warned that mantras that are adopted without professional advice may lead to various "negative or unsettling" aftereffects. The books are, of course, on sale at most TM centers. As Harvard's Schwartz puts it wryly: "TM is no longer just a movement, but an industry...
...baseman unfit to play because of a sore arm. Bent on making room for another player to strengthen his roster, Finley dropped Andrews from the team. In protest, the A's wore his No. 17 on their sleeves at a workout before the third game. To a man, they insist that Finley ordered the doctor to fabricate a reason for dumping Andrews.

Finley, who had given the players $3,000 diamond rings after...
Critics of the Berkeley study are likely to insist that diet still cannot be discounted as a cause of coronaries. But researchers like Drs.

In one class a private detective is scheduled to demonstrate how to protect a house from burglars. Many of Oregon...
There are, of course, gaffers who insist that the one true Sherlock Holmes was William Gillette, who made a career early in this century playing the detective in a drama he devised from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. There are also striplings who claim, in their innocence, that Peter Cushing's impersonation of the Great Gumshoe in the 1960s was quite acceptable. But anyone who was around in the 1940s knows that the detective's only authorized dramatic representative was Basil Rathbone.* With his incisive features and voice, Rathbone was one of the few actors...
