...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 puts psychoanalysis in the category of myth and poetry rather than that of scientific examination...
...cavities, ducts and glands of his body-Ruby accused them of injecting him with the disease. Almost from the moment of his arrival at the hospital on Dec. 9, Ruby's case was considered hopeless-and he knew it.

Uncle strikes first. One dark night he hypnotizes the boy-Barnaby shakes the spell on the brink of a 100-ft. precipice. Barnaby strikes back with some toxic toadstools-Uncle precautiously checks the mushroom sauce. Uncle surrounds Barnaby and Chrissie with a wall of fire-rain puts the fire out. Barnaby plops a tarantula on Uncle's chest-the spider falls happily asleep on Uncle...
