...always, psychiatrists are their own severest critics. Thomas Szasz, long the most outspoken gadfly of his profession, insists that there is really no such thing as mental illness, only normal problems of living. E. Fuller Torrey, another antipsychiatry psychiatrist, is willing to concede that there are a few brain diseases, like schizophrenia, but says they can be treated with only a handful of drugs that could be administered by general practitioners or internists. He writes: "The psychiatrist has become expendable; he is left standing between the people who have problems in living and those who have brain disease, holding...
...line's scoring punch is the final element in a carefully considered formula for success. When the N.H.L. mushroomed from six to 18 teams a decade ago, most new franchises tried to trade for instant respectability, lavishing huge contracts on fading veterans. But Islander General Manager William Torrey concluded that the future lay in the future: "You can't build a championship club out of someone else's rejects."

Even farther out to sea many food fish, except possibly sole, which stay near the bottom, will be contaminated. The season's take of crabs, including...
...east as well. By any measure, the spill was the biggest of all time and perhaps the most devastating. At week's end it appeared that most of the Amoco Cadiz's 220,000 tons of crude oil-twice the amount released by the infamous Torrey Canyon eleven years ago-would ooze from the American-owned supertanker, which lay broken in two after going aground off the storm-tossed Brittany peninsula...
