...class background and mannerisms call to mind a benign dentist. While most of his peers remain academically cloistered, concentrating on the higher mathematics and econometric concepts of modern research, Feldstein is at home in both academe and Government. He is equally comfortable pondering a regression equation for a computer program or testifying to a congressional committee, which he often does. Both political parties eagerly seek his counsel. He was an adviser to Jimmy Carter's '76 campaign, turned down a bid to join Gerald Ford's Council of Economic Advisers, and is often spoken of as a future CEA chairman...

One likely casualty: the 106-year-old diploma-nursing program at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital, one of the nation's oldest...
Conducted by Psychiatrist Jon K. Meyer, director of the hospital's sexual consultation program, the study grew out of a concern that many transsexuals seeking surgery ranged in age from 20 to 30 (men outnumbering women 4 to 1). Somehow those over 30 seemed to have lost the desire for it, settling instead for alternate lifestyles. So, in 1971, Meyer began keeping track of his patients' postoperative acceptance of their new gender, using such indicators as job placement, marital success, psychiatric status and police records.
