...could say that the parrot, representing clever vocalisation without much brain power, was Pure Word. If you were a French academic, you might say he was symbole de Logos. Being English, I hasten back to the corporeal: to that svelte, perky creature I had seen at the Hotel-Dieu. I imagined Loulou sitting on the other side of Flaubert's desk and staring back at him like some taunting reflection from a funfair mirror. No wonder three weeks of its parodic presence caused irritation. Is the writer much more than a sophisticated parrot...

...when the knights somehow seem monstrous, killers risen out of a black id, perpetrators of My Lai, then the entire chivalric logic collapses, and masculinity itself becomes a horror--all rage and aggression and reptilian brain.

In the '60s, during the great violence of the war, masculine power came to be subtly discredited in many circles as oafish and destructive. The heritage of the Enlightenment (the scientific method, progress, that dreamy Jeffersonian clarity of mind that told us all problems could be solved) now seemed drawn into...
...classifies himself as a moderate T, thinks there is a physical predisposition toward risk taking and says a few studies of identical twins support the notion. Another psychologist, Marvin Zuckerman of the University of Delaware, also proffers a physical explanation: Zuckerman says sensation seekers may have distinctly different brain chemistry. Despite their various emphases, researchers in the field generally reject the idea that risk takers are acting compulsively out of a neurotic need or a desire to solve a psychological problem...
When Phyllis Weber learned earlier this year that a two-year-old child had died of brain disease in a San Francisco hospital, she immediately dialed a 24-hour alert number in Pittsburgh. The child's liver was still in good condition but would quickly deteriorate, and Weber, who is director of the Northern California Transplant Bank, had only a few hours to find someone who could use it.
