...teacher catches an impressionable adolescent boy in sexual experiments with other boys and leaps to the conclusion that he is a homosexual, the scoldings he gets may make him freeze up with girls in another way. He may start to think that if everyone considers him a homosexual, he must be one. Many schools compound the problem by enshrining the supermale and overemphasizing sports. The inevitable peer group yelling "Sissy!" at the drop of a fly ball can also start the long and complicated process by which a boy can come to think of himself as "different...
...psychoanalyst says that we are destined to heterosexual union, and anything that deviates from this must by definition be sick. This is nonsense even in animal terms. Animal communities can tolerate quite a lot of homosexual relationships. The beautiful paradigm of this is geese. Two male geese can form a bond that is exactly like the bond between males and females. They function as a male-female pair; and geese, as far as I can see, are a very successful species...
...sale, which must be approved by both companies' boards and by AMC's shareholders, immediately raised the question of who was swallowing whom.

The problem affects almost everybody-the rich in luxury apartments, the middle class in suburban subdivisions, the poor in festering slums. In order to make bigger...
...Federal National Mortgage Association, which is privately owned but Government-controlled, has become the principal source of funds for Federal Housing Administration and Veterans Administration loans. But money is so scarce that average private mortgage rates have risen from 6.4% two years ago to 8.1% now. Many borrowers must pay 81% or even 9%. Though the rates may fall a bit next year, they will probably stay high by historical standards. Any would-be buyer who holds off in hopes of a significant drop in overall housing costs is likely to be disappointed...
