...might never have come to fruition. In the long run, isolation proved a blessing. For Cary had to sweat over his craft far from the corrupting literary ambience that often sustains but modishly distorts young talent. London was full of Weltschmerz and fashionable reliance on canned Freud and Frazer. Cary was unaffected. Literary myth seekers and archetype spotters will look in vain through Cary's fiction. "My novels point out that the world consists entirely of exceptions," he wrote. Persistently, he saw the world as a struggle between creative man and organized authority, with no quarter given or expected...
...properly, many observers note that changing gun laws will not help much as long as people yield to the violent impulses that seize them. "Cain and not Abel, is the father of man," notes Chicago Psychiatrist Bruno Bettelheim. Half a century ago in The Golden Bough, Anthropologist Sir James Frazer discerned "a solid layer of savagery beneath the surface of society, unaffected by the superficial changes of religion and culture." To cope with what Sir James described as this "standing menace to civilization," many authorities suggest that a way must be found to control aggression and, as Detroit Psychiatrist Bruce...

One of his most notable projects-and notable failures -was making automobiles. He and Joseph W.

They sold well until postwar supplies of new cars caught up with demand: then, competition from Detroit's Big Three put Kaiser-Frazer out of the auto business. Kaiser repaid...
...Symbol (Sheed & Ward; $5), demonstrates why he is probably the world's foremost living interpreter of spiritual myths and symbolism. Jerald Brauer, dean of Chicago's divinity school, and other scholars compare Eliade's works to those of the modern pioneer of myth collection, Sir James Frazer (The Golden Bough). Unlike Frazer, an agnostic who deplored the mindless cruelty and superstition of pagan legends, Eliade, a Greek Orthodox Christian, comprehends ancient mythology as religious man's existential effort to understand the mystery of the universe. Little known outside university circles, Eliade has had a profound influence...
