...banks, too, have to cope with kickback artists on their own payrolls. At a federal hearing last week on a bankruptcy petition he has filed, Joel Kline, a Maryland land speculator, testified that he had paid $25,000 to a loan officer at New York City's Bankers Trust Corp. in exchange for securing lines of credit. The following day the bank revealed that last November it had asked an officer, Stephen Benjamin, to resign for dealings with Kline. The land speculator, who bribed a number of Maryland state officials while Spiro Agnew was Governor, reportedly gave testimony that...
...philosophy. He calls it "possibility thinking" to distinguish it a bit from the "positive thinking" of his friend the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale. Good Christians, Schuller intones, are "act-chievers" who "try-umph" over pessimism. "I don't trust skeptics, no matter how brilliant their words," he says. "I trust Jesus.

The World Bank sharply revised its earlier prediction for 1980 down to $250 billion, expressed in 1974 dollars (that figure does not include inflation...
Masters and Johnson's The Pleasure Bond is really a sophisticated tract, a plea for integrity and responsibility in marriage, a low-keyed argument for a husband-wife relationship of loyalty, trust, honor, openness and mutual love. What makes this case for the rehabilitation of some old-fashioned principles so impressive is the prestige of its authors. They are pioneering researchers and innovative therapists who subscribe to philosophical relativism. At the same time they are critical of emancipated moderns whose much heralded freedom may be a form of prolonged adolescent rebellion or unhealthy exhibitionism. They are also critical...
