...their books. But legal action against a parent is seldom effective; pressure from the law, Pollock and Steele have found, simply reinforces his conviction that he is always "being disregarded, attacked, and commanded to do better-the very things which led him to be an abuser in the first place." Nor is it always wise for a therapist to intervene when he sees a child being badly treated, believes Psychiatric Social Worker Elizabeth Davoren, who took part in the Colorado study. "Protecting a child when you cannot continue such protection beyond the moment may be the cruelest thing...
Almost every U.S. tourist overseas knows that the place to change money, pick up the mail from home and meet fellow travelers is American Express. Famed as they are, however, the American Express offices in Paris, Rome, Tokyo and just about every other capital have never been the company's big profit makers. For many years, Amexco was really not much more than a bank with a tourist front. Lately it has branched into two dozen other areas of business, to become a sort of department store of financial and travel-related services...
Economists in recent years have become the most influential of all scholars, taking their place as fixtures in the chancelleries, banks and board rooms of the world. Last week two longtime leaders in this increasingly glamorous science were finally given the ultimate honor, the first Nobel Prize in Economics, the only new category added to the awards since they were started in 1901.

The only instance of sadism, in fact, is the disastrous decision to make Goodbye, Mr. Chips a musical. As a result, Leslie Bricusse was given license to inflict ten songs. Like the pupils' Latin lessons, the lyrics will not pass scrutiny...
...first directorial assignment, Herbert Ross lights Clark's songs as if she were doing a turn on This Is Tom Jones, and tends to place his camera at jarring angles. He even mounts it on the V-l, making the viewer feel like a patient of Dr. Strangslove. No matter. It is one of the graces of group art that if any one can destroy a project, so any one can save it. Mr. Chips is barely enough because Mr. O'Toole is more than enough...
