When Kurt Waldheim was inaugurated last week as Austria's sixth President since 1945, the protests were few and symbolic. In the sunlit Great Hall of the Parliament building, some two dozen Socialist Members of Parliament wore black neckties. Many Socialists believe that Waldheim, who served in a German army command responsible for the deportation of Greek Jews to death camps during World War II, is unfit to be President...
Despite its fluffy title, I'm OK -- You're OK was one of the more persuasive pop psychology works to come out of California during the 1960s. Author Thomas A. Harris managed the intellectual feat of combining the conventional sunlit optimism of the period with a few of the darker strains of Freudian and Christian thinking.

Visible through the distant glass roof, past floors of balconied corridors where 800 federal workers have offices, is a dramatic view: the 315-ft. clock tower that presides loftily over Pennsylvania Avenue. Developer Charles Evans Jr., whose firm also was part of the team that refurbished the nation's oldest covered...
