...such acts of madness occur? What, if anything, can be done to prevent them? These were the central questions to which the TIME team assigned to the story addressed itself. On that task force were 48 correspondents in the U.S. and abroad and 15 editors, writers and researchers in New York. They dealt with information from literally hundreds of sources, including interviews with 40 psychiatrists and psychologists...
Though most such ideas are technically feasible, they will occur far in the future-if at all. One reason for this is that man is not quite sure what will happen if he tampers too much with natural forces. Since the atmosphere is an ecological container analogous to a Gemini capsule, any major change in the weather at one place is bound to affect the whole worldwide weather system. To destroy a typhoon threatening Kyushu might deprive a drought-ridden corner of India of needed rain or even parch Eastern Europe. To melt the icecap would almost certainly inundate much...
...late as 1890, the word "privacy" did not occur in legal literature. In that year a socially prominent young Boston lawyer named Samuel D. Warren took offense at a local gossip sheet that had assiduously reported on every party that he and his wife gave, and they gave many.

...spite of the rigidity which the professions have built into the system of delivering medical care, change is occurring and will continue to occur at an accelerated rate. The impetus for change is from the public and the news media, the Government, and labor and management organizations are all instruments of this force. What the public wants of course is somewhat contradictory. It wishes to have the practical general practioner of the 18th and 19th centuries but endowed with all the knowledge and skills of the 20th century specialist. It wants the comfort of the home visit combined with...
