...direction and give incentives-like the oil industry's depletion allowance, for instance. Maybe rather than cut depletion or raise it or whatever, we should tie it more strongly to exploration and research, for example, into new methods of cutting down on pollution. Maybe we could give a similar advantage to other industries and tie it to how they use it. Let's say the automobile industry has some kind of tax incentive to look into other kinds of transportation like steam or electric cars. That might be the best way to solve the problem of auto-exhaust...
...group will be permitted to preach in the pulpits of the other. For the Missouri Synod, which grew out of a single, 19th century immigrant German church, the decision was a major break with tradition. It was not such a landmark, however, for the ALC, which recently reached a similar agreement with the larger (3.1 million) and even more liberal Lutheran Church in America. Unlike Missouri, both the ALC and the LCA are themselves the results of four-way mergers by Scandinavian and German churches...
...giant cool that is part of today's life-style repulses me," he says. "The artist has to have vulnerability, open up his feelings, and find a loving commitment."

Both are romantic abstractionists who have preserved on canvas a sense of place and object without the aid of recognizable images...
...that the symptoms of autism usually develop in a baby's first weeks, seemingly well before strong parental influence is possible. Moreover, studies indicate that the other offspring of parents with an autistic child are almost invariably normal. Some researchers hope that autism will turn out to be similar to cretinism and phenylketonuria (or P.K.U.)-products of some defective chemistry affecting the nervous system. Meanwhile, a growing number of experts would like to sidestep the question of parental blame and concentrate on teaching autistic children acceptable substitutes for their difficult and harmful behavior. Says Dr. Leon Eisenberg, chief...
...Cure. Similar ideas are also being put to use in a few of the schools that attempt to treat autistics along with other problem children. Carl Fenichel of Brooklyn's League School for Seriously Disturbed Children told the National Society meeting that he has had some success by firmly distracting autistic children from their tantrums and insisting they practice simple mechanical tasks such as holding a pencil or using an egg beater. "Disorganized children need someone to organize their world for them," he says. "They fear their own loss of control and seek protection against their own impulsive drives...
