...that the key to dealing with inmates is to know them?and their leaders?well. In the end, the major failure at Attica may be that the authorities simply did not know what the desperate men behind their walls really wanted, thought or felt. Until the uprising became another symbol of America's many agonies, all too few seemed to care ?at Attica or elsewhere...
David Reuben, M.D., the California psychiatrist, boyish authority symbol and author of Everything You Always Wanted to know About Sex . . . etc., continues to practice writing without a license.

In a number of areas, moreover, voters who wanted to register antigovernment sentiments found that balloting was not only a complex procedure but also ultimately superfluous. Except in some northern and coastal provinces...
...apparently, it had. After 17 months of negotiations, the ambassadors had produced an agreement marking the end of a quarter-century in which Berlin has stood as a symbol and focal point of hostility between the Soviet Union and the West. The most important gain for the West was a Soviet guarantee of free and "unimpeded" travel along the Autobahnen, rail lines and waterways that separate West Berlin from West Germany (TIME, Sept. 6). The Soviets promised to improve communications and to permit West Berliners to visit East Germany. The Soviets, in turn, won an acknowledgment that West Berlin...
