Some survivors may not fully realize for months that they have been in an accident. A week after the crash near Chicago's Midway Airport last month, Psychiatrist Edward Stein of the University of Chicago Medical School interviewed eight survivors. "No one," he says, "was overwhelmed by anxiety," though "there were bad dreams" and "a great deal of psychic denial" of the threat of death. "It's like the pupil, which contracts in bright light to avoid being overstimulated. This is good, healthy adaptiveness," Stein explains, adding, "The question is, will the pupil dilate again in the dark...
...other cases, a feeling of invulnerability precedes survival and can produce a cavalier attitude in the midst of danger. John Rauen Jr., a former Marine who survived World War II combat, reports that "I knew we were going to crash, but I didn't expect to die." Psychiatrist Stein calls this mental invincibility "the silver bullet reaction"-the conviction that "nothing can get me but a silver bullet...
...will ask Congress to renew his authority to maintain wage-price controls before that power lapses April 30, but he wants some still undisclosed changes. An ideological free-marketeer, Nixon has never been comfortable with controls. Neither have his primary economic aides, notably Treasury Secretary George Shultz and Herbert Stein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. They would clearly like to loosen the system, perhaps by exempting more retailers, landlords and small-to medium-size companies. Most important, however, high Administration officials aim soon to relax the limits on profit-margin increases, which have infuriated many businessmen...
...HISTORY OF HORSE RACING by Roger Longrigg. 320 pages. Stein & Day. $22.50. The author briskly covers the circuit from the chariot contests of ancient Greece to modern-day trotting, flat racing and steeplechase events. Intensive history is interlaced with odd bits of equestrian esoterica, like the tale of the dancing horses of Sybaris who betrayed the Sybarites in battle in 510 B.C. by throwing their riders at the sound of the enemy's flutes. Here one can trace bloodlines, learn how jockeys developed their "monkey-on-a-stick" riding style, or simply be amused by the 30,000 deaths...
...chemistry prize, also worth $98,100, went to Christian Anfinsen, 56, of the National Institutes of Health, and Rockefeller University's Stanford Moore, 59, and William H. Stein, 61, for their work on enzymes. Made up of long, folded chains of amino acids, these proteins are essential intermediaries, or catalysts, in the body's vital chemical reactions. Anfinsen showed how the three-dimensional shape of an enzyme-critical to its role in those reactions-is dictated by the order in which its amino acids occur. Moore and Stein, studying the same enzyme-ribonuclease -ingeniously unraveled its sequence...
