DIED. PETER BLOS, 93, compassionate psychoanalyst who pioneered the exploration of adolescent angst; in New York City. In The Adolescent Passage, Blos argued that the psychic battles waged during the teenage years help determine an adult's mental health...
...boomers once boasted of never trusting anyone over 30, Xers have even more cause for disillusion. Between 1965 and 1977, the divorce rate doubled. More than 40% of today's young adults had spent time in a single-parent home by age 16. Did the psychic toll produce latch-key basket cases or self-reliant survivors? Undoubtedly, both. In their coupling habits, Gen X is the "youngest copulating and oldest marrying generation ever recorded," note Strauss and Howe.

...Harvard-educated physician, ought to know better than to tell stories like this. But Weil has a thousand of them.

...astronomer Chuck Shramek called in to report he had spotted and photographed "a Saturn-like object" trailing the approaching Hale-Bopp comet. But even the most jaded Bell fans were excited when Courtney Brown, an Emory University professor, called to make a patently ludicrous announcement: his team of three psychic "remote viewers" had focused on Shramek's object and determined it was a spaceship full of aliens. Furthermore, Brown claimed, he had a photograph of the craft taken by a "Top-10-university astronomy professor," who had told him radio signals were coming from the object, indicating it was "intelligently...
