...customers can resist the pressure: most contribute. Each week the bartender collects about $100, which he turns over to unnamed friends who deliver it "where it will do the most good." The bartender, who has never even seen Ireland but whose father was born there, also collects weapons for the Provisional I.R.A. He led a recent visitor to a nearby cellar, where he had hidden half a dozen M-16 rifles and a footlocker full of land mines. The cache was being held for a confederate ("I'm not sure of his name, but I think...
...Prime Minister, Jack Lynch, readily agrees with the Justice Department's strategy. Says he: "If those who contribute believe that their money goes to support widows and orphans, let me make it clear that it goes to make widows and orphans."

Last week the Justice Department signed a consent order stating that it cannot refuse to hire someone solely because he or she lives out of wedlock with a person of the opposite sex. Bishop, 33, was pleased, but the ruling did not come soon enough to help her; she is a full...
...students quickly learn, the school is a therapeutic bootcamp. Each youngster has individual psychological sessions at least once a week, and everyone on campus-faculty and students alike-is subjected to group therapy virtually all the time. The psychology is Gestalt, involving constant confrontation and intense expression of feeling. Discipline and structure are maintained primarily by the students themselves. The use of drugs, alcohol, or any violence or sex results in an instant dorm meeting and, sometimes, a call for a temporary expulsion. The student is sent outside the gates, then allowed back in after agreeing to perform 250 extra...
