...Talk with King Abdullah. "Never throughout my life," she once said, "have I planned what position I would like to have. That ambitious I haven't been." Born Goldie Mabovitch in Kiev, she was eight when her family emigrated to Milwaukee and a willful 14 when she ran away to join a sister in Denver, until her parents surrendered and agreed to let her study to be a schoolteacher. Except for a stint of teaching in folk schulen, or Yiddish folk schools, she never fulfilled that ambition. Instead, she joined the Labor Zionist movement as an enthusiastic, full-time...
...grave error to think that a child over four or five years of age who is dying of a terminal illness does not realize its seriousness. We have seen the pathetic consequence of the loneliness of a fatally ill child who has no one with whom he may talk over his concerns because his parents are trying to shield him. The question is not whether to talk about the diagnosis and prognosis, but rather how to let the child know that his concerns are shared and understood." It is important, say Binger and his colleagues, for the child to feel...

Union and government negotiators could not even agree on what to talk about, a divergence that was hardly surprising in a country where workers and management traditionally view each other as implacable enemies...
...partners talk hopefully about a potential market for 400 Concordes. Their break-even point is thought to be around 130 planes, and the manufacturers have in hand 74 options, all of which can be withdrawn by the airlines that placed them. Meanwhile, the Europeans have been anxiously watching as the U.S. designs and redesigns its own SST. When the U.S. plane finally flies, it will be much bigger than the Concorde and some 350 m.p.h. faster. Britons continue to fear that they will again be first-as they were in television broadcasting, jet engines and jet transports-only...
