Here now: A newspaper clip I cut out a few decades back and still have. Worth a read! From the time when Neil Simon ruled on Broadway and would never have considered heading west to LA la land. Simon on East and West It won't be long before Neil Simon of Los Angeles moves back to New York full-time on a part-time basis, which is to say the writer misses this city more than he thought he would when he headed West in 1975, and will spend four months a year here instead of visiting occasionally for a week at a stretch. Having crossed the country and seen both sides now, Mr. Simon is keenly aware of the differences, and has articulated them more than once, but rarely as bitingly as he does in the February issue of Playboy: "I think that in southern California, people are very concerned about making their life comfortable, while back East they're more concerned with making their life interesting. If I had to make one comparison, I'd say that when it's 5 below in New York, it's 78 in Los Angeles, and when it's 110 in New York, it's 78 in Los Angeles. But there are two million interesting people in New York - and only 78 in Los Angeles." Dear Abby: Psychiatrists vs psychologists (circa 1970s-1980s) DEAR ABBY: I've seen several references in your column pointing out the differences between a psychiatrist and a psychologist. I submit my favorite. "A psychiatrist is a person who has studied medicine, which he does not practice, then attempts to practice psychology, which he has not studied." -Clinical Psychologist, Columbus, Ohio [In the interest of fairness and context, this was before the age of Prozac, Adderall and a drug for every mental issue. It was the age of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy rather than treatment by pills. But the point about training in human psychology is still valid. - maf] |
