Ironically, because so few realms of food treatment escape the Hesses' criticism, The Taste of America may almost push the average American eater into the three-pills-day-nothing-more school just because after nearly 300 pages of expose with accompanying invective the invasion and triumph of junk food seems almost unsurmountable. And, after a time, boring. The book suffers on occasion from overexposure, or overexpose as the authors feel compelled to make a number of points over and over, ad nauseum, albeit with different examples. And, while their wit makes enjoyable reading, the sustained sharpness gives the book...
...legal aliens who were apprehended in New York City were discovered to have received $500,000 in welfare payments, although they owned $1.4 million in assets. Aliens manage to get on the rolls for Medicare and Medicaid, and they get free emergency treatment at hospitals. They also send their children to school as required by law. As they register for various programs, they are asked to give only cursory proof of their legal status and take a small risk of detection.

...Emotional Tragedy (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $10.95), the latest entry in the burgeoning field known as "psychobiography.'' Psychobiographers seek to explain the lives of famous people by theorizing about their inner psyches. The best-known and most respected practitioner, Erik Erikson, subjected Luther and Gandhi to the treatment. Sigmund Freud once collaborated (with William Bullitt) on a job on Woodrow Wilson. By now psychobiography has become such a fad that last year an American Psychiatric Association task force recommended that psychiatrists avoid such projects unless the subjects are dead or give their permission...
...calculated shock treatment worked. Toiling through the night, Berg and his committee drafted recommendations that the conferees readily accepted before their departure the next day. They voted not only to continue the ban on the worrisome experiments, but also to press NIH to establish levels of safety that should be required for different experiments. In addition, they decided that precautions to keep research organisms from escaping from laboratories had to include "biological containment." This required the creation of mutated strains of E. coli so disabled that they could live nowhere but in a test tube. If they did escape their...
