...observers were not much more hopeful about the situation. "Even if the Syrians and the Christians patch something together," said a Western diplomat in Beirut, "it will hold for only a few weeks or a month. The state will fall back into conditions that produce more fighting. The guns talk here. Nothing else." President Elias Sarkis, who has been frustrated over his inability to prevent the fratricidal fighting, for a while threatened to resign. But he bowed to U.S. pressure to stay on in order to stave off what would almost certainly be, in his absence, total anarchy...
...Ambassador Andrew Young, who conceived the Namibian strategy early last year. McHenry has been shuttling between New York and seven African capitals for the past 15 months in an effort to persuade leaders of the so-called Front Line States (Angola, Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique and Botswana) to talk SWAPO Leader Sam Nujoma into buying the plan. Angolan officials were particularly anxious for a resolution of the conflict. Their southern border area is scattered with Namibian refugee camps and SWAPO guerrilla bases; last May South Africa peppered the area with a series of bombing attacks in an attempt to wipe...
...mystique of jogging, with its claims to work wonders for body and soul, has begun to invade American psychiatry. Some psychiatrists now routinely prescribe jogging instead of pills for moderate depression. Others use it to break down patients' defenses in talk therapy, and a few believe running produces chemical changes that help cure serious disorders. Jogging literature now features overblown claims for the method. Runner's World magazine says that Kostrubala may be "a therapeutic messiah who will lead the mentally disturbed out of the desert." Writer Valerie Andrews, in her forthcoming book, The Psychic Power of Running...
...jogging works well for moderately depressed neurotics. In one test of 28 depressed patients, a team of psychiatrists and psychologists at the University of Wisconsin Medical School found that for most of them, 30 to 45 minutes of jogging three times a week was at least as effective as talk therapy. Psychiatrist Robert S. Brown of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, who says it dawned on him one day that "nobody jogging down at the track ever appeared depressed," finds that the exercise works better than pills in controlling depression. About 70% of all his patients, he says...
Lawrence is founder and president of the American Medical Joggers Association, a group of 3,000 jogger-doctors. This fall he plans to start a Jungian talk-and-jog therapy with neurotic patients on Malibu Beach, charging $75 an hour. "Jogging is a way of reaching the unconscious rapidly," he says. "Man was meant to be a moving animal, but he's become sedentary. Distance running can bring us back to the basics of what we're here for." Lawrence has noticed that after 14 to 18 miles of a marathon, people often break down...
