...restricted to patient and analyst, has led to two-hour sessions of group therapy in which half a dozen or so patients, all with similar symptoms, get together with the same therapist. Now Los Angeles' Dr. George R. Bach, 51, a Latvian-born Ph.D. psychologist, has pushed the trend -both in time and numbers-about as far as it can reasonably go. He has enlarged the cast to a dozen or more "participants," and he keeps the group session going, marathon style, for 30 to 48 hours in what he calls "300-year weekends." No one is allowed...
Athletes & Ads. Both announcements are part of an industry trend. The U.S. is drinking twice as much beer per capita as it did immediately after Prohibition-production this year will reach a record 102 million barrels-but only a quarter as many breweries are making it. In 1934 there were 752; today only 190 breweries are in business, and many of them have a future about as flat as stale beer. The ten biggest brewers account for 55% of sales, and another 30% belongs to such strong and modern regional brewers as National of Baltimore, Pearl of San Antonio, Schmidt...

In addition to the rapid growth of in-flight entertainment and the prevalence of "gourmet" meals on longer flights, the lines are going out of their way to make the cabin more like home. Western provides portable typewriters and dictating machines...
...revolutionizing the economics and geography of the world's most basic industry. From Tokyo to Naples, steelmen are moving to the sea, erecting new plants hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of miles from even the meagerest deposits of raw materials. Last week, in a move that emphasized this trend, West Germany's sixth largest steelmaker, Kloeckner-Werke, announced that it plans a $25 million expansion of its eight-year-old plant near Bremen...
