...Medicine and marriage do not mix, says the prevailing shibboleth. Doctors are so dedicated to their work, or exposed to so many tempting romantic opportunities, that they have more divorces than members of other professions. Not so, say Dr. Irving Rosow of the Langley Porter Institute and K. Daniel Rose, a senior medical student at the University of California. The pair recently analyzed all divorce, separate maintenance and annulment actions filed in California during a six-month period. Their report in California Medicine shows that doctors' marriages are, if anything, more stable than those of many other professionals. Authors...
...decisions clearly?not condescendingly?explained? Does the company offer small, appreciated extras, like Ford Motor's provision of a tow truck with jumper cables to help any worker who cannot start his car on winter nights?

All of them fall far short of labor youth's demands but meet specific needs of their elders. The Administration, for instance, is considering legislation for the Government to regulate corporate pension plans more closely and require that all of them be vested, becoming...
...mood of simmering discontent among the nation's blue-collar workers, who feel themselves victimized by inflation, trapped in unpleasant jobs and neglected by the rest of the U.S. "These men are on a treadmill, chasing the illusion of higher living standards," Assistant Labor Secretary Jerome Rosow recently observed in a much remarked study. "They feel like 'forgotten people.'" Blue-collar workers in many states, Rosow notes, often have incomes only a notch above welfare payments, and they resent being taxed to pay for special benefits accorded the poor, but denied to them...
