...himself insists, may not have lost any equity with Richard Nixon. But their 20-year relationship has become strained. Yielding to pressure from the potent American Medical Association last month, the President humiliated the Health, Education and Welfare Secretary by failing to support his choice of Boston Physician John Knowles for a top department post. Bowing to his supporters in the South, Nixon later allowed Administration conservatives led by Attorney General John Mitchell to overcome Finch's reluctance to relax the standards for school desegregation. Continuing conflict between Nixon and the Cabinet's outstanding liberal over the tone...
...real." Most medical authorities now agree with Sternbach, who says: "Excluding the malingerer, who by definition is a deliberate faker, all pain is real."

For the first time since John Young smuggled a corned-beef sandwich aboard the Gemini 3 flight in 1965 and littered the spacecraft interior with crumbs, the astronauts were allowed a supply of bread. To withstand the pure-oxygen atmosphere, which quickly dries bread and makes...
...strategy of sympathy seems to work. The secret is that it encourages parents to show respect for a child's feelings with out compromising their own standards, and strikes a balance between strictness and permissiveness. Parents should draw the line between "acceptance and approval," Ginott says. "A physician does not reject a patient because he bleeds; a parent can tolerate unlikable behavior without sanctioning...
