...weeks, top Teamsters had been nervously waiting. Would their tough little boss Jimmy Hoffa run for the presidency of the union again, even though he is still serving a 13-year sentence for jury tampering and pension-fund fraud in Lewisburg (Pa.) Penitentiary? Last week the word finally came down: he would not. Making the announcement in the Teamsters' ornate Washington headquarters, Hoffa's son James, a Teamster lawyer, said that his father was bowing out in favor of the union's acting president, Frank Fitzsimmons...

It contends that at least ten letters were exchanged between Philip Berrigan and Sister Elizabeth between May 24 and Aug. 22, 1970, while Berrigan was in the U.S. Penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa., serving a sentence for destroying draft records at Catonsville and Baltimore, Md.

After Reich moved to the U.S., a federal court handed him a two-year sentence for defying a court order that forbade shipment of his notorious but harmless "orgone box" across state lines.* Yet now, 14 years after his death in the Lewisburg (Pa.) prison, Reich is recognized as a pioneer of the nonverbal, body-oriented therapies that are fashionable in psychiatry today. Reprinted in paperback, his main works (The Function of the Orgasm, Character Analysis, The Mass Psychology of Fascism) have become standard reading in many university psychology departments. Now a skillful popular introduction...
