...almost never emerges from the seclusion of his curio-filled Vienna home. His work has been honored, but it has also been severely criticized. Many a onetime disciple has drifted away, revising, overhauling, stripping the flesh from the impregnable skeleton of the original discovery and clothing it anew. One early disciple. Dr. Alfred Adler, discovered the Inferiority Complex, whose wide acceptance has nearly shouldered aside the Freudian interpretations, among them the Oedipus Complex. Today the word ''Freudian" is far less used by bigwigs of the psychological sciences than by literary and dramatic critics to pigeonhole incestuous novels...
...three times before the Lord Chancellor and take his seat as a peer of the realm, Harry J. Hahn reappeared in the New York Press, with every phrase of the art expert's vocabulary at the tip of his tongue. Mr. Hahn was ready to damn Lord Duveen anew and present a trunkful of new evidence to prove that his wife's painting was the Leonardo masterpiece.

...friend of dictatorships, the "guillotine" (which must be voted anew for each of the government's "fundamental laws") made Premier Azana first cousin to a dictator. Dictators breed revolution.

I will not seek the hospitable columns of the CRIMSON any more. Yet I do not retire from the fight. I am in the fight...
Next April Thomas Mooney will be once more on the stand in his own defense to fight the old indictment for the 1916 bombing, now being pressed anew. Mooney, as is well-known, is serving a life-sentence in San Quentin jail after a much-disputed conviction in 1917. The opinion of all but Californians is that the prisoner, if not plainly innocent, is at least the victim of an atrociously unfair trial, in which State's witnesses gave perjured testimony, evidence for the defense was suppressed, and the issued clouded over with hysteria. Now the case is going...
