Such services are necessary, the placement people claim, because their clients often arrive bewildered and defensive. Nearly all are men of genuine ability who in the past have made important contributions to the companies that fired them. Many of these executives are squeezed out because of mergers, reorganizations or disagreements with their superiors over corporate policy rather than because of incompetence. Nevertheless, they often find the firing a shattering blow and think that their careers are ended...
...dehiree will be touted by the firm to another company as their 'new $50,000 hotshot.' "Officials of the companies involved reply that they keep the two parts of their business rigidly separate.

Two sectors did that, directly or indirectly. They are the University, (which should have enough money...
...M.C.C. obviously fulfills a genuine need. With rare exceptions, other denominations either do not want the homosexual or else condemn him. Perry's church does not confine its services to Sunday. It also helps in job placement, offers psychological counseling, discussion and study groups. A 24-hour "hot line" is kept open for any possible emergency. There are even groups to advise "straight" family members who are trying to understand a homophile relative...
