In this study, 224 ninth graders from two similar Kentucky towns were obtained by means of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. They were divided into various groups and analyzed in relation to a number of background factors and their resulting personality patterns. The emergence of various group patterns in this study demonstrates that the complexity of human personality necessitates complex analytic procedures.

Legislators, journalists and concerned citizens in general, when consider ing what to do about the plague of heroin addiction in large cities, ask an obvious question: "Is methadone treatment effective?" This question is a critical one since maintenance with methadone is at present the only prac tical alternative to leaving tens of thousands (in New York City, hundreds of thousands) of untreated addicts on the streets. Other treatments, although effective for limited groups, could not conceivably be expanded to stop heroin use in as much as 10% of the addicted population. The present study, sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, was undertaken to provide an authoritative answer to this question. Under the direction of a distinguished expert, the evaluation team made an inten sive examination of techniques and outcomes in six different methadone programs located in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and followed this by two yhears of data analysis and literature review. The present re port is the product of this work. The primary conclusion-namely that methadone treatment is substan tially effective in reducing heroin use and associated criminal behavior-is consistent with the findings of several previous independent evaluations.

Fame at Last is the first book to use a detailed analysis of almost ten thousand obits to consider success, fame, and accomplishment in America. Drawing on a database that includes every New York Times obituary of the past six years, it highlights America's most important, famous, and fascinating achievers-the superrich, inventors, lawyers, doctors, actors, politicians, and chefs. The colorful, compelling stories of their lives reveal much about success and change in our most high-status worlds.And then there is the analysis of these many groups, shown in charts and tables. Which Americans get the longest obits and make it onto the Overall Apex of Fame? The Apex of Fame for authors? How do women do? Which eight schools educated almost 30 percent of those in the database? This lively and original book is a revealing look at who's who in America. What do the most successful people have in common? How is success in one field different from another? Fame at Last offers a complex but entertaining vision of achievement in America.

The objectives of this study were first to determine the effectiveness of the jet-flap rotor relative to other lift generators, and second to examine the potential effectiveness of the jet-flap rotor in a tactical VTOL aircraft. It was found that the jet-flap rotor has a high theoretical potential, but at present is the least-developed of the lift generators considered. The jet-flap rotor was found to be unattractive as a means of providing vertical lift, except when a long hover duration is necessary. With regard to weight considerations alone, the jet-flap rotor was found to be inadvisable for use in a tactical VTOL aircraft. However, its benign downwash characteristics could make the jet-flap rotor advantageous if high downwash velocities and temperatures could not be tolerated. (Author).
