...Teamsters contract settlement within the Administration's "voluntary" guideline limits of 7% a year in wage and benefit increases. On the 13th floor of a hotel overlooking Arlington National Cemetery, union and management negotiators have been bargaining in earnest for more than a week to shape a new master freight agreement for the Teamsters' 270,000 drivers and loaders. The two sides have until midnight this Saturday, March 31,when the present contract expires, to reach an agreement...
...electrical, rubber and auto workers-may moderate their demands. But should the Teamsters gravely breach the guides, 3.3 million other union members whose contracts expire this year will probably feel free to go for broke. As one of the Administration's inflation fighters put it: "If we lose master freight, we can forget about Stage...
...great intellectual triumphs of all time?came along when American psychiatry was doing little more than warehousing the insane and performing the occasional crude Cuckoo's Nest lobotomy. Though most of Europe's intelligentsia remained unimpressed with Freud, a generation of largely Jewish disciples of the master, fleeing Hitler and the Nazis, spread the faith widely in the U.S. It quickly attracted the well-to-do, who could alford the treatment, and enticed the literati, who were smitten by the subtlety and symbolism of these fashionable excursions into the subconscious...

But studies of identical twins and adopted children by Biochemist Seymour Kety strongly suggest a genetic base for schizophrenia. According to Kety, the flaw, contained in the cells' DNA, the master genetic molecules, may possibly be transmitted by viruses. In any case, the new pharmacological researchers no longer regard schizophrenia as a single ailment but, like cancer, as a collection of different malfunctions. In schizophrenia, the common denominator is the brain, and many scientists are convinced that a neurotransmitter, or chemical brain-signal...
