...socialistic. At first the F.D.P. was dominated by a right wing of nay-sayers?businessmen who thought there was too much welfare spending, Protestants wary of the C.D.U.'s heavy Catholic influence, nationalists who felt Bonn was too pro-American. Scheel belonged to the Free Democrats' younger left wing, and when he took over 21 months ago, he set about transforming party policy from right of the C.D.U. to left of the S.P.D. on a number of important issues. Since there are still conservatives in his party that resent the leftward move, the party could conceivably break apart under...

The boycott proposal has already been endorsed by the departments of psychology, chemistry and Romance studies, and moratorium organizers lined up a leading war critic, Republican Senator Charles Goodell of New York, as the speaker at a peace rally...
...bler-Ross warns that the patient's final resignation should not be mistaken for euphoria, as it sometimes is. Passivity is a better description: "His circle of interest diminishes. He wishes to be left alone or at least not stirred up by news and problems of the outside world." The patient's family often misinterpret this state as rejection. "We can be of greatest service to them," the author reasons, "if we help them understand that only patients who have worked through their dying are able to detach themselves slowly and peacefully in this manner. It is during...
