...Homosexuality in America [Oct. 31]: As a clinical psychologist, I have begun to see how the pressures to conform force young humans to squeeze individual self into a mold created by a popular myth of what "other people" think, believe and feel.

Complaints about the count probably only reflect a deeper discontent with the PR system itself, which has never been universally popular in Cambridge. On four occasions, anti-PR groups have put on the ballot referendums on whether to retain the system. Each time, however, voters approved of PR; the last time, in 1965, by a 2500-vote margin...
Artists Stanley Landsman and Roy Lichtenstein are also devotees of the period. Landsman collects slender "green-ies," a kind of metal figurine usually portraying a modish nymphet in an affected pose, which were popular as a decoration atop the family radio console.

But he admits that models are far harder to build for rich, complex countries than for simpler economies. "Frisch and I started this work in the 1930s, in the days of the economic depression," says Jan Tinbergen. "We wanted to draw a plan to fight depression causes and keep unemployment under control." In recent years, Tinbergen has devoted all of his time to the problems of underdeveloped countries, where econometrics seems well...
