...PENNSYLVANIA. Penn has perhaps the best-balanced offense in the league. The passing game, led by quarterback Marty Vaughan, was ranked fourth in the nation last offense leader. The Quakers also posses the most explosive back in the league in Adolph Bellizeare. Every time he gets the ball, Bellizeare is a threat to break one off for a long gain...
Perhaps the most famous behavioral analysis was the Hitler study done by Dr. Walter Langer, William's brother, for the U.S. Government during World War II. Declassified in 1972 and published as The Mind of Adolph Hitler, Langer's work proved uncannily accurate; he not only predicted Hitler's suicide, but also that "each defeat will shake his confidence and ... he will probably try to compensate for his vulnerability by stressing his brutality." In fact, Hitler began ordering mass slaughters of the Jews as his military position crumbled. But even Langer calls psychiatric profiles "90% guesswork...
...fact the more fervently practiced. It is the great generator, inspiring the energy that spanned the American continent.

Evans is dead serious about Paramount. "Running a major studio is more difficult than running a country," he says without a trace of irony. "A small country...
...Died. Adolph Gottlieb, 70, one of the founders of the abstract expressionist school of painting along with Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning; after a long illness; in New York City. Rebelling against the social realism that dominated painting in the '40s, Gottlieb created "pictographs"-checkerboard patterns of squares filled with hieroglyphic-like imagery. In the late '50s he began a series of what he called "Bursts," huge canvases with floating blobs of color that sometimes resemble suns poised over jagged horizons. Gottlieb, whose works have sold for as much as $30,000, is represented...
