Died. Gordon W. Allport, 69, giant among U.S. psychologists and longtime (1930-67) Harvard professor; of lung cancer; in Cambridge, Mass. Wary of the sweeping generalities Freud found in the human subconscious, Allport from the start insisted that each personality is an irreducibly unique cluster of character traits; that man acts not so much because of universal primordial drives but rather as a result of individual characteristics developed over a lifetime. It was once a highly controversial idea, but today more and more psychologists are coming around to this view, and his Personality: A Psychological Interpretation, written 30 years...

The immediate diagnosis was a touch of bronchitis, which could be serious in itself, but there was the possibility that Robertson had a spot on his lung, and would be lost for the season...

As a public servant, Seebohm swiftly rebuilt and expanded Germany's war-ravaged railroads, autobahns, ports and waterways. As a politician, he was signally less successful. His incessant clamor for the return of the Sudeten-land-yielded to Hitler in 1938 and handed back to Czechoslovakia in 1945 -was a constant embarrassment to the Bonn government...
...subcommittee's hearings, the U.S. Public Health Service published a 200-page follow-up to the 1964 Surgeon General's report. Based on a review of more than 2,000 research studies made in the past three years, the report repeats that cigarette tars can cause lung cancer; it depressingly documents further evidence that the weed can bring on peptic ulcers, aortic aneurysm, cancer of the larynx, mouth, pharynx, esophagus and bladder. A two-pack-a-day smoker aged 55 to 64, says the report, has 34 times more chance of dying of lung cancer than a nonsmoker...
