With irrational finality, your child insists that his soup is too salty, his home work too hard. What should a parent do? Easy, answers Psychologist Haim Ginott. Just keep cool and coo some thing sympathetic, like "Oh, it's too salty for you. I wish we had something else," and "Yes, you do have a lot of homework." Chances are the child will eat the soup after all and resolutely go off to study...
...restaurant's political era began. Konrad Adenauer liked to greet Ria, a fellow Rhinelander, in local dialect; he became a regular. Successor Ludwig Erhard became another steady; the day he succeeded der Alte as Chancellor, Ria sent him a Wedgwood tureen brimful of his favorite split pea soup.

...junk. The quest for the artifacts of yesteryear, which has been indulged in by many Americans for years, has now reached epidemic proportions. Behold! A hot-air grate, raised on a walnut stand, becomes "sculpture." A chamber pot leaves its place under the bed and appears-lo!-as a soup tureen. Fortunate is the man who inherits a 1912 Corona typewriter or an Atwater-Kent radio in plywood Gothic style. They are also lucky who have-squirreled away somewhere-cast-iron toys, lead molds, bubble-gum machines, wind-up phonographs, toy steam engines, pieces of farm machinery, embossed advertisements...
