Kinzel's study is further proof of a contemporary psychological premise -advanced by such theorists as Northwestern University's Edward T. Hall and Medical Center of Mount Zion's Mardi J. Horowitz-that man unconsciously projects a sphere of personal space that admits no trespass by strangers. Whenever this zone is penetrated without permission, the occupant responds by defending it, often with violence. Kinzel believes that the dimensions of the circle may provide a clue to the violence potential of its inhabitant: the larger the circle, the more intolerant its inhabitant to invasion of his personal space...
Despite the opportunities, however, today's graduates are surprisingly reluctant to seize them. Six years ago, an estimated 30% of the students at Northwestern University were undecided on a career. This year a survey showed that the undecideds amount to 54%. A Harvard senior expressed the prevailing mood: "If I'm alive and out of,jail when I'm 30, we'll see what happens." Even if he manages to come to a decision then, the chances are that he will not stay put. It is estimated that more than half the present June graduates will...
...differences between white and black American culture go well beyond speech patterns. In a pioneering study called The Myth of the Negro Past (1941), the late Melville Herskovits, an anthropologist at Northwestern University, argued that many black cultural patterns are basically African in origin. Although his thesis was initially dismissed by the majority of sociologists and anthropologists-including most Negro experts-the Cultural Mafia agrees with Herskovits. Its members believe that they have discovered a number of behavioral parallels between native Africans and black Americans. One similarity is the typical way that many Negroes laugh: they cover their mouths, lower...
These dangers must be set against the greater hazards of pregnancy. For three weeks after a normal pregnancy and delivery, the risks of thromboembolism (including pulmonary embolism) are greatly increased, and even during pregnancy may be slightly increased. Northwestern University's Dr. David Danforth calculated for the College of Physicians that there are .55 cases of thromboembolism per 1,000 women a year among Pill takers compared with .74 per 1,000 during pregnancy and three to ten cases per 1,000 after delivery. Clotting problems aside, pregnancy carries other risks, including fatal complications associated with high blood pressure...
...North Vietnamese troops monthly filter south. Truck sightings have risen fivefold since the U.S. bombing halt over North Viet Nam: up to 1,000 vehicles are spotted daily, moving north and south. Recently an allied patrol even uncovered a railway track in Laos reaching to the northwestern edge of South Viet Nam. Gondola cars on the line were pulled by men or by trucks...
