Students at Stellenbosch University near Cape Town stood, applauded, and sang Lank Sal Hy Lewe (Long May He Live), the Afrikaans equivalent of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow. Surprisingly for South Africa, the object of their hearty tribute was a black man, Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda, President of the tiny African state of Malawi, Last week Banda concluded a five-day state visit to South Africa; he was the first black President ever to visit the white-dominated Republic and the first chief of any foreign state to come calling since England's King George...
...fetishism dominates his strangest and best known series of etchings: a fantasy which begins innocently enough with the artist picking up a girl's glove at a roller-skating rink, and follows the glove through a fabulous series of dream vicissitudes.

In a similar vein, Los Angeles Analyst Judd Marmor recently wrote that the new method comes "uncomfortably close to the dangerous area of thought and behavior control." Not so, says Behaviorist Alan Goldstein of Temple University. "People come to us to have...
...change has occurred among married women. Only 30% of them were in the nation's work force a decade ago; today, more than 40% of them are. The new trend is partly due to male willingness; one recent survey showed that half of the men questioned would not object if their wives took a job. Mostly, however, it is the wives who have changed their minds...
