During World War II, U.S. Army field commanders discovered that they were losing more troops to combat stress than to the enemy. One man in ten was knocked out of action by battle-induced mental disorder; in 1943, more men were discharged because of psychiatric reasons than were inducted. Moreover, such casualties were usually eliminated permanently from the war; they were shipped home and discharged. Today in Viet Nam, the psychiatric casualty rate is down to one man in 100. And most of the victims rejoin their units within two days...
...Breed. This approach, first used during World War II, helped establish one of psychiatry's newest methods: group therapy. If the efficacy of such treatment needs any further proof, psychiatrists in Viet Nam feel that they have provided it beyond any doubt. But the value of their experience may go well beyond that...
McHarg's dreams were interrupted by World War II and his seven years' service as a British paratroop officer. Later, at Harvard, he earned three degrees in three years and picked up a case of tuberculosis. As a noted Scottish city planner, he was invited in 1954 by the University of Pennsylvania to found the first American department of landscape architecture and regional planning. He now teaches at Penn, is a partner in a planning firm and preaches what he practices all over...
Thus begins the autobiography of Christine Keeler, whom some may remember as the call girl in the scandal that forced John Profumo to resign as Britain's Minister of War in 1963. She has yet to find a book publisher, but her story is now unfolding in eight installments in the News of the World, a Sunday broadsheet that has built a circulation of 6,500,000 by emphasizing the news of the bedroom. Britons who do not like News of the World ignore it -or pretend to. But its regurgitation of the Profumo affair is provoking outraged cries...
Credit controls, which were last imposed on the U.S. during the Korean War, might work more selectively to restrain lending, and in turn, demand for some kinds of goods. But neither Congress nor the Administration favors such an approach. The Administration is also adamant in rejecting a return to wage-price "guideposts" or "jawbone" jousting with business and labor over excessive price or wage boosts. The old guideposts permitted annual wage increases of 3.2%, an amount equal to average gains in productivity over a long period. Now productivity is falling, and workers can hardly be expected to take wage cuts...
