...would be hard to find a literary collaboration more ill conceived than this one-a psychoanalytic post-mortem conducted on a U.S. President by two men who were admittedly prejudiced against their subject, and based on second-or third-hand information. Together, they framed a savage posthumous assault that depicts Thomas Woodrow Wilson as a Messianic but effeminate zealot hovering on the brink of insanity. It is all the more remarkable because it is not the work of some pop-psych practitioner but bears the name of the founder of psychoanalysis himself. On this showing, if not on others, Freud...
...Wild Duck. Henrik Ibsen asked men and women to be honest with themselves. He saw most human beings as hypocrites of the heart, defilers of the mind, and desiccators of the spirit.

After clobbering a ski-lodge proprietor in 1955, he received a suspended three-month sentence. Tried for another assault in 1957, he got a hung jury, settled a damage suit by paying his alleged victim $5,000. Even after he entered San Francisco's Hastings College of Law in 1961, Terence had at least three fights, one of them a melee growing out of a bare-knuckles duel between his brother and another law student...

Law classmate Donald Conn prosecuting, and Broadway producer David Merrick part of the packed gallery of reporters and spectators...
