...Gritz, 42, a former Army public affairs officer who served in Viet Nam and who now works for Hughes Helicopter in Culver City, Calif. Gritz (rhymes with beets) may not have been the ideal choice to run the secret operation: he showed up at the training camp with a psychic, a hypnotherapist, an ABC News crew and a Washington Post reporter to serve as "historical record keeper." After spending about $40,000 of the P.O.W. families' rescue money, Gritz's squad disbanded-according to Gritz, at the request of the Government...
...mistake to view all Viet Nam veterans as profoundly troubled, as walking wounded. About half of the veterans, the study found, still carry disturbing, unsettling psychic baggage from Viet Nam. Even so, most cope pretty well. Americans may now be too quick to indulge in a "Lo, the Poor Vet" rhetoric. Dr. Arthur Egendorf, a Viet Nam veteran and a psychologist who was a principal author of the study, points out that those who pity Viet Nam veterans simply relegate them to the role of victim (which is not much help to the veterans).

...image of jazz musicians recreating beside one of Munch's images of spiritual frenzy and psychic fear is not lacking in amusing undertones or, for that matter, in cultural cross references: Munch worked out of the same abyss, after all, as Charlie Parker and Ornette Coleman. ECM is a haven for many of the descendants of these jazz giants and stresses a kind of stylistic riskiness underpinned by sobriety. The music that has done the most to build the five-man European company into the world's most thriving jazz label ranges in style and quality from...
...injured-26 requiring hospitalization-along with scores of civilians. Nearly 100 rioters were arrested. Estimates of property damage ran to more than $2.2 million. Beyond the burnt buildings and ravaged streets twinkling with shards of glass from shattered storefront windows, however, London now bears a more lasting scar: the psychic damage from the worst race riot in British history, an ugly explosion reminiscent of the violence that tore apart dozens of American cities in the '60s and, only eleven months ago, left whole sections of Miami in flames...
