...Honeycomb reviews a list of shady tactics, then suggests darkly that C.R.P. even hired George McGovern on the sly to make campaign blunders that would widen Nixon's victory margin. After all, says Honeycomb of McGovern, "He is short of money." Another Buchwald column dealt with Nixonian schizophrenia and featured the New Nixon (Dickey) chewing out the Old Nixon (Tricky) for the Watergate bugging, while Tricky laments: "It was the only fun I've had in four years...
Wednesday's Child treats the subject of incipient schizophrenia with grim understanding. The focus of this clinical dramatization is Janice (Sandy Ratcliff), young daughter of a lower-middle-class British family, who has been more than usually bruised by the trials of adolescence. Her parents, their marriage long a stalemate of uneasily repressed hostility, commit her to the care of a therapist whose attempts to reach Janice are thwarted by his dismissal from the hospital.

...Florida, tapped three major sources: he conducted exhaustive interviews with people who had known Hitler; he used "The Hitler sourcebook" (1,100 pages of biographical data compiled by three analytically trained assistants); and he carefully studied Mein Kampf.

He makes no preferences, even though I suspect he enjoys the band more. (But that's because I enjoy the band more...
...organization has no better testimonial to its usefulness than the experience of its Chicago-based director of leader training, Phil Crane, 64. His law career was cut short by paranoid schizophrenia, and he had more than 90 electroshock treatments. After that, Recovery. "It taught me self-help techniques," Crane explains. "I'd wake up, panicked that I would again become mentally ill and have to go back to the hospital. So I'd practice what Low called spotting, which is simply learning to recognize that these are only nervous symptoms-distressing but not dangerous. I then practiced...
