...turning a fast profit than in caring for their elderly patients. Ralph Nader's group described nursing homes with depressing accuracy in a 1970 report. Mary Mendelson, a Cleveland community-planning consultant, exposed the industry's seamy side last spring in her well-researched book Tender Loving Greed (TIME, June 3). Last week nursing homes were once again under scrutiny, this time by federal and state investigators. In Manhattan, a subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging opened hearings into charges of abuses and irregularities in New York nursing homes and got a glimpse of just...
...world riddled with starvation, you should present both sides. I have given a home to two abandoned dogs. They don't drink vodka; they don't sit at my table; they have no pedigrees, Marie Antoinette doghouses or caniscopes. In this crazy world-this planet governed by greed, indifference and masochism-I treasure my dogs as the last consistent remnants of love and compassion to grace my life...
Rarely has fear scored so total a victory over greed in the minds of investors as in the stock market of 1974. As traders worried about virulent inflation and mounting evidence of recession, many common stocks dropped to prices not seen since the 1950s. Rallies were brief and whimsical, reflecting sporadic technical adjustments rather than any lasting return of investor confidence. The Dow Jones industrial average sank to two twelve-year lows in two months, most recently on Dec. 6 when it dropped to 578. It closed last week at 593, up 15 points for the week but still...
Laughlin's message is that violence is bad, but that greed, hatred and corruption conspire to make it sometimes necessary. When Billy Jack lets his hands and feet fly at some nasty yokel, he feels just terrible afterward. His guilt has to do in great part with his love for Jean Roberts (Delores Taylor), a staunch advocate of nonviolence who takes a dim view of Billy's temper even as she makes good use of his muscle. In Trial, as in its predecessor, the townies are always hassling Jean and her freedom school-a dewy combination of Summerhill...
Alas, as Mostert makes clear, greed and circumstance have overborn technology. The great ships are badly built and hard to handle. They are also, it appears, crucially overloaded, sloppily sailed, sketchily regulated for safety and steadily dangerous. The problem is partly a matter of scale, a dramatic change that-as Lemuel Gulliver learned to his sorrow-can be catastrophic. Especially in congested shipping lanes, the V.L.C.C.s are simply too big and too inertia-bound to operate safely by current rules of navigation. (Among other things, Mostert urges the establishment of onshore control towers like those now handling flight patterns around...
