Explaining why she joined the National Front, a coalition of leftist parties opposed to the Shah, Dr. Homa Darabi Keyhani, 38, a New York City-trained pediatrician and child psychiatrist, recalls her experiences as a doctor in a small Iranian village ten years ago. The people had a saying that the first child belonged to the crows - because of the likelihood that it would not survive. "That is bitter and terrible to hear," she says. "Millions were spent to build big gambling casinos. Corruption thrived around us while kids died because they drank contaminated water, and there was no vaccine...
Many academics have earned more than $75,000 in author's royalties, but U.C.L.A. Psychiatrist Roger Gould, 43, may be the first to make that much from someone else's book. Since 1969 Gould has been studying "adult life stages" in an effort to show that all men and women go through similar phases of psychological development.

On Wednesday Bourne took a paid leave of absence. He later explained: "I didn't want to create the kind of situation Bert Lance had. The more you hang in, the more people go after you. I will resolve it and come back." Bourne also issued a statement justifying his conduct: he had written a prescription for one of his aides, Ellen Metsky, 25, who was suffering from...
...Lovejoy, the 1,400-acre family plantation southeast of Atlanta, where she runs a meat brokerage business. For years it seemed they had a perfect political marriage. But he drank, she says, and the marriage deteriorated. She came down with the Washington-wife blues and started seeing a psychiatrist. One evening in 1976, shortly after hog-killing time, Betty Talmadge suddenly recovered. While watching the news on TV at Lovejoy, she discovered that the Senator had filed for divorce. She went to the next room, where Talmadge was sitting, and said: "When are you moving...
