...many years Sigmund Freud of Vienna has studied the tortuous ways of the unconscious mind. Moving his pale hands nervously about among the green pagan gods, the bronzes, the bizarre masks which cover the top of his massive desk at his home, he has written the testament of the psychoanalysts. This week in recognition of his lifelong work, he will receive the Goethe prize given by the German City of Frankfurt. The award is especially appropriate for Dr. Freud. Some 50 years ago, Goethe's essay Die Natur first decided him to abandon the writing of poetry which...
...mistakes they are likely to make, until they become so terrified that they dare hardly breathe in their children's presence and are tempted to leave the job to what are called 'experts,' i.e., to people who have read more of the great books in question. . . .

Theirs was a relation which would in all probability have taxed the analytic powers of a Shakespeare or a Freud. The latest ambitious analyst is Playwright Harry Wagstaff Gribble, one-time associate of Christopher Morley in Hoboken theatrical enterprises (TIME, March 25, 1929). Playwright Gribble has examined several old dramas on the theme, has evolved his own explanation of its mysteries...
