...Straus (now settled in Lexington. Ky.), Baron Viktor von Gebsattel and Karl Jaspers in Germany and Ludwig Binswanger in Switzerland began applying what are now rated as phenomenological and existential principles to psychiatry. The influence spread from these elders to young psychiatrists in training. Binswanger and others named their method Daseinsanalyse, from Heidegger's term for existence, Dasein (translated as "being here and now"). The new approach was not formalized in a new school, designed to supplant earlier "depth psychology" methods, but permeated many of them. Though its greatest acceptance came among eclectics (no particular school), it has been...
Informed Alarm. Last week, running the college with casual, kindly autocracy, waving to undergraduates as he stomped about the campus, Carleton's President Laurence McKinley Gould went about the business of finding the money. His method: to bedevil the rich with reports of the U.S.'s conspicuous complacency-much as Economist Thorstein Veblen (Carleton '80) once hounded them with charges of "conspicuous consumption." A scholar who would be concerned about U.S. educational standards if Russia were inhabited solely by musk oxen, Gould does not hesitate to point with alarm at the Red satellites long after the furor...
...Socratic Method. In Manhattan, a judge kept silencing Assistant District Attorney Burton Roberts' attempts to interrupt Defense Attorney Horacio Quinones, but recessed the court when Roberts finally broke in to say: "I'm sorry, Your Honor, but in the interest of public health and justice, I must bring to the court's attention the fact that Mr. Quinones has just drunk a glass of Epsom salts in which I was bathing my finger...
...would like to try a 50-lb. space sailer. Once launched in the usual way to an orbit around the earth, the satellite would sprout a circular sail of thin plastic coated with shiny aluminum. If the satellite is spinning, the sail would spread itself by centrifugal force. Another method would be to construct a sail with inflatable tubes connected by fragile membranes on the model of an insect's wing. At the proper moment, plastic foam would be injected into the hollow tubes, distending them and spreading the sail. Later, the foam would harden to act as supporting...
...struck oil, but it was mixed with so much salt water that Starr Co. despaired of getting the oil out of the petroleum-bearing strata. Disgusted, Starr sold the well, equipment and 80 acres of surrounding lease to Turner for $2,500. Undiscouraged, Turner decided to try his own method. He thought an extremely powerful pump might draw down the water level so fast that the oil locked up in the rock would flow into the bore, where it could be pumped up. Using a tractor for power, Turner soon had the well producing as much...
