...picture that we sometimes get of a materially prosperous but morally sick society derives, I am sure, from too much emphasis on the abnormal behavior of a tiny fraction of the population . . . The mistaken application of Freud's teaching to the raising of children has produced many spoilt, unhappy adolescents who are only now beginning to find out that the adult world does not automatically give them everything they want. But the influence of the 'Church of Vienna' fortunately does not extend much beyond the cities, nor much further west than Chicago...

Where 19th Century judges scorned to adapt their abstract reasoning to experience and social change, the "realists" of today, stimulated perhaps by hasty readings in Marx and Freud, challenge the worth of any standard except experience. ". . .
