A reader asks about claustrophobia and affordable help. Dr Boudewyns describes Duke University Medical Center's Bad Habits Clinic using behavior modification, labeling clients as such and employing systematic desensitization and flooding to address fear and other issues.
The article explains gradual exposure therapy for phobias, starting with relaxation and toy fears then progressing to live animals under supervision. It notes that relaxed individuals are not necessarily anxious and that flooding asks patients to confront fears repeatedly until anxiety subsides. It also mentions consulting a doctor for guidance and lists quirky phobia names. Henry Clay is quoted at the end.
The piece notes that E bonds sold from 1941 to 1942 have long deferred taxes on accrued interest, with final maturities through 1981 and 1982.

The author contrasts this with retirement and Keogh IRA programs and asks why E bond buyers cannot keep deferring taxes until retirement.
