Psychiatrist William B. Terhune, 65, who started the foundation 25 years ago, insists on calling his plant a "unit"-he is equally opposed to such "emotionally charged'' words as sanatorium, hospital and institution.

At that meeting, Tito and his aides vigorously berated Gomulka for talking too much about a separate "Polish road to socialism." Barely a year later, Tito was the archrenegade of the Communist world. And before long, Gomulka, accused of Titoist tendencies, was stripped of his power as secretary-general of the Polish Communist Party and put under house arrest...
