...might expect a book called The Question of God to answer its title question. Yet Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr., Harvard Medical School professor of psychiatry and teacher of a popular seminar for undergraduates entitled “Freud and C.S.

But as Sigmund Freud would say, where there is a censorious superego you shouldn't have to look too far to find a subversive underlying id-the perfect description of Jack Neo, an actor, writer and director who doesn't keep much of anything inside. Ask him about any topic-sex, money, Big Brother-and he'll unleash his Gatling gun laugh. And that's what Singaporeans adore about Neo: the fact...
