...established artists can give emergency money to unrecognized ones by donating works of art to a pool. In the desiccated, clique-ridden and ungenerous atmosphere of the New York art world in the '70s, Rauschenberg has turned out to be one of the few senior artists with real respect and concern for his juniors...
...Israeli psychiatrists and psychologists, the Yom Kippur War was a bench mark. Before it, nation building and the chronic threat of war seemed to leave little room for worry about personal emotional problems. Esteem for the psychosciences was low, at least by Western standards. Since the 1973 war, public respect for psychiatry has risen sharply. For one thing, many psychiatrists and psychologists performed heroically during the conflict: they moved to the front with the troops to deal with battle shock on the spot; behind the lines they manned crisis centers to treat soldiers and civilians alike. Their work was doubly...
Steady prosperity and the absence of stockholder pressure - the family retains sole ownership -strengthen the Mesquita's hand with the military. Apparently out of respect for O Estado 's influence, the regime seems to have ended its censorship of the paper for the time being. Yet the adversary relationship persists.

In the old days, O Estado would have been censored. Says Julio Mesquita: "Estado will not change its opinions. Under a totalitarian...
...American, verbal or otherwise. More important than the fact of degeneracy are the reasons behind it. Newman does make a stab at why the American language has become so cheapened. While Watergate was making its contribution, he writes, "a different process has been under way in another sector, where respect for rules has been breaking down and correct expression is considered almost a badge of dishonor." Deterioration thus stems from large changes the country underwent in the '60s: the rise of the environment issue; the new assertion of demands by minority groups; the generation gap; the rise of television...
Back to Basics. Television news audiences and the readers of most general publications get little serious economic analysis. There are exceptions. Leonard Silk of the New York Times is one of the few journalists whom academics respect as an intellectual in the field. The Times's Soma Golden and the Washington Post's Hobart Rowen have both done consistently fine work. Peter Milius of the Post recently explained with clarity the relationship between inflation, wage changes, productivity and unit labor costs-rather basic stuff, but necessary to educate a painfully ignorant public...
