...help stutterers, each project chapter holds weekly meetings to discuss various therapies,* as well as plans for dealing with job discrimination and social ridicule. Members also take the opportunity to unload their pain and resentment. Says Goldman: "These are people who never, never before participated in any group. Many just don't interact with people outside their immediate families. The shame runs very deep...
...trend threatens to make longshoremen as redundant as pick-and-shovel coal miners. It once took 100 longshoremen working around-the-clock for a week to load and unload cargoes on a conventional freighter; 40 to 50 men can do the same job on a container ship in less than a day.

In New York, I.L.A. membership has dropped from...

As the first flakes fall, at any hour of day or night one can hear the scritch-scratch of individual snow shovels and brooms, generally woman-powered...
...wealthy. In an unusual event for the headquarters, ex-Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver and his wife Kathleen were baptized in the pool last Oct. 10. Expanding in Washington, meanwhile, Bright got wealthy laymen to donate $500,000 for a French-style mansion that the Catholic archdiocese wanted to unload as unfittingly grandiose, and he turned it into the Christian Embassy for low-key evangelism of government officials. Though less than 5% of his staff members have any theological training, many hold Ph.D.s or business school degrees. With its computerized efficiency, Campus Crusade can readily report that last year...
