Among variegated practitioners of talk-it-out treatment for emotional problems, Chicago's Psychologist Carl Ransom Rogers, 55, has long been a maverick. He calls his method "client-centered therapy," tries manfully to define it: "We see therapy as an experience, not in intellectual terms. We treat the client as a person, not as an object to be manipulated and directed." Snorts a Chicago psychoanalyst of neo-Freudian persuasion: "Rogers' method is unsystematic, undisciplined and humanistic. Rogers doesn't analyze and doesn't diagnose. We have no common ground."

About 33% of its investment capital is privately held...
Taking the baby to a thicket less than half a mile from his Plainview home, he laid him down on the ground in a chill, drizzling rain, abandoned him. Within a few days, though he could no longer bargain with the Weinbergers, LaMarca sent them another ransom note, telephoned them at least once-but Morris Weinberger and his wife somehow never made direct contact with...
