Death, Arnold Toynbee once said, is unAmerican. But not today. Death-education courses now abound all over the country for college, high school and elementary students. Their philosophy parallels the one that is used to justify sex education courses-talk about a subject that has been nearly taboo, and therefore mysterious and frightening, and everybody will probably feel better. One of the standard texts, by Gene Stanford and Deborah Perry, is even called Death Out of the Closet. The gifted fourth-and fifth-graders, mostly with IQs above 125, who make up Mrs. Shaak's little flock are simply...

Bishop, 33, was pleased, but the ruling did not come soon enough to help her; she is a full-time administrator at the Department of Housing and Urban Development...
...week, and everyone on campus-faculty and students alike-is subjected to group therapy virtually all the time. The psychology is Gestalt, involving constant confrontation and intense expression of feeling. Discipline and structure are maintained primarily by the students themselves. The use of drugs, alcohol, or any violence or sex results in an instant dorm meeting and, sometimes, a call for a temporary expulsion. The student is sent outside the gates, then allowed back in after agreeing to perform 250 extra work hours for the community. If homework is neglected or a bed left unmade, fines are subtracted from...
