Arabesque. Among the experts consulted during production of this lavish suspense comedy was a British color psychologist, who must have suggested lots of bright red for excitement. Brightness helps a little, but otherwise the entire movie appears to have been assembled in the same mechanical way. Certainly some unimaginative travel agent chose the in-and-around-London locations: Trafalgar Square, the Zoo, the Royal Enclosure at Ascot. A consultant on film fads surely recommended the modish scenes of violence, since the villains pursuing Sophia Loren and Gregory Peck from one landmark to the next seldom just take...
...general improvement of teaching, however, cannot be accomplished simply by copying these qualities. For one thing, no one knows enough about how students learn. "We know more about teaching rats, and we are more effective with psychotics and neurotics than we are with freshmen," says Caltech Psychologist John Weir. One of the leaders in cognition psychology, Harvard's Jerome Bruner, has long insisted that "any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest way to any child at any stage of development" (yet a recent Harvard Crimson course guide terms Bruner's own classes "incoherent...
...Psychologist Timothy Leary, 45, is less successful when it comes to com- municating with cops. The high priest of hallucination, who is most often held accountable for popularizing the mind-bending drug LSD, was arrested in Texas in December and last month received the maximum sentence-30 years in jail and a $40,000 fine-for illegally transporting marijuana.

But the book, Human Sexual Response (Little, Brown, $10), published last week, is already a bestseller. Written for the medical-scientific community, by Gynecologist William H. Masters and Psychologist Virginia E. Johnson, it is being bought by the general public at the pace set by the late Alfred C. Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948; close to 300,000 copies to date) and the corresponding female volume (1953; more than...
...Local Neo-American Church Boo Hoos" are listed in another Bulletin. The Church, which Miss Bieberman describes as "a fellowship for the use of psychedelics," was founded by Arthur Kleps, a psychologist. "He appointed himself Chief Boo Hoo of the Church," she explaines, "He means to sound absurd because he doesn't believe in taking organizations too seriously. Chief Boo Hoo is not like Chairman of the Board...
