...Freud now no longer stood alone. As early as 1902, he had asked his first supporters to meet in the little waiting room of his apartment each week. The "Psychological Wednesday Society" had four charter members besides Freud-Alfred Adler, Max Kahane. Rudolf Reitler (the second man in history to perform a psychoanalysis), Wilhelm Stekel. In 1906 Freud learned with joy that the famed Burghëlzli Clinic of Zurich University had taken up his methods at the instance of Carl Gustav Jung (TIME, Feb. 14). Freud "soon decided that Jung was to be his successor, and at times called...
...carbuncular anger to his heirs, so Freud's brilliant but obstinate, vain and hypersensitive character seems to have shaped the psychoanalytic movement.

This beginner's work contains the material of Tchaikovsky without his melodic gift, the orchestration of Rimsky-Korsakov without his logic, the structure of Brahms in all his squareness. A good joke...
Target: the Funny Bone. Hip-flipper Verdon appeared on NBC's Colgate Variety Hour (Sun. 8 p.m., E.D.T.) in a salute to Songwriters Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, who wrote the music for the Broadway hits The Pajama Game and Damn Yankees. Since Gwen was scheduled to do the numbers she originated in Damn Yankees, there was every reason to believe that she would prove as irresistible on TV as on Broadway. But her specialty is spoofing sex by seductively tossing her hips in all directions, while singing her songs. Although she aims chiefly at the funny bone...
