...join an Arab union. Cairo's press headlined that Hussein was challenged by his army. Syria and Iraq papers reported "spreading revolution" and "guerrilla war with pitched battles." In Damascus a band of Jordanian exiles, led by handsome, hotheaded ex-Colonel Ali Abu Nuwar, 40, set up a rival "government." Abu Nuwar had nearly toppled Hussein in 1957, but because of old friendship, the King spared Abu Nuwar's life and banished him. Ever since, Abu Nuwar has repaid the act of mercy by promoting anti-Hussein conspiracies...
...represented 80% of Weyerhaeuser's output. Today they represent 41%-and the remainder is in plywood, veneers, paperboard, containers and paper. But the changeover was unnerving. Once it had learned to bleach fir pulp, Weyerhaeuser quintupled production and set out to become the dominant U.S. pulp supplier. But rival pulpmakers bought up paper companies, which then used only their pulp; to compete, Weyerhaeuser was forced to buy up its own paper and plywood mills. It struggled through organizational shakedowns and an initiation into the unfamiliar areas of new products and consumer sales...
Initiation Over. The initiation and the losses it involved are about over. For the past three years the lumber industry has been plagued by overcapacity, Canadian competition and sales losses to such rival materials as plastics and metal.

Its basic position is good: it has no debts, $117 million in working capital and a fourth-generation-seedling in Vice President Weyerhaeuser, 36,* who is ready to take over when his uncle...
...devotees of the more nativistic Continental psychologies should beware of immediately hailing James as a compatriot. He has had too much influence upon rival schools. Although James's own eclecticism and boundary-bursting originality preclude classification, many of his students eventually became leaders of the American functionalist movement. And tinges of behaviorism can even be spotted in some of his most famous doctrines...
...James-Lange theory of the emotions. In presenting this theory James superbly displayed those gifts that brought him renown as a psychologist: novelty, lucidity, effective argumentation. "Commonsense says, we loose our fortune, are sorry and weep; we meet a bear, are frightened and run; we are insulted by a rival, are angry and strike. The hypothesis there to be defended says that this order of sequence is incorrect, that the one mental state is not immediately induced by the other, that the bodily manifestations must first be interposed between, and that the more rational statement is that we feel sorry...
