...founder to a searching analysis from the outside. It is not the first such effort, but the best. In Sigmund Freud's Mission, (Harper; $3), German-born Author Fromm casts grave doubt on Biographer Ernest Jones's description of Freud's self-analysis as "an imperishable feat" (TIME, Sept. 19, 1955), which got most of the kinks out of his psyche. Far from it, says Fromm, who doubles in sociology and philosophy; in Freud's personality and temperament were many grave defects that he carried through life...
...August fair. The oldsters awake to find little tin name plates tacked to their wicker porch chairs. Gregg, a 70-year-old rebel without a cause, splenetically pries his tag loose. The philosophic Hook, an old man's old man of 94, observes mildly of Gregg's feat that workmanship is not what it once was. The armchair rebellion merely saddens Conner, the poorhouse prefect. A self-punishing do-gooder, Conner needs the inmates' gratitude to mirror his righteousness. As the day wears on, instances of man's, and even nature's ingratitude multiply. Gregg...

Once, Anderson nosed his sub to the seemingly ice-free surface but jarred against thin ice and blacked out both his periscopes. A 15-hour repair feat, in a choppy sea and bone-numbing wind, restored No. 1 periscope to use. Constant fear: that the conditions at the top of the world, which confuse both magnetic and gyro compasses, would doom Nautilus to a game of "longitude roulette," in which the directionless ship might wander aimlessly around...
Rockett, who tied Tuckerman in scoring, was an All-Ivy selection last year, and third-place Stratta was an All- American. Since Tuckerman went unrecognized last year, his feat of leading the league while playing on a generally low-scoring squad is surprising...
