Like James Joyce or Sigmund Freud, the late Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Jesuit priest and paleontologist, has become an inescapable intellectual presence of the age. Until, and even after, his death in 1955, the Vatican forbade the publication of his nonscientific works, largely because he accepted evolution as the key to human history. In the eyes of Rome, Teilhard remains a near heretic. Last month the Holy Office issued a solemn warning for religious superiors "to guard souls, especially of the young, against the dangers contained in the works of Father Teilhard de Chardin and his followers...
Bound for Yale's Law School as a visiting lecturer is Child Psychoanalyst Anna Freud, 67, the only one of Sigmund Freud's six children to achieve eminence in the field he pioneered.

Undigested lumps of Marx and Freud swallowed in youth appear to catalyze these prosy nightmares. Sex, particularly, is constantly talked of, snickered at and attempted-and, of course, it is always unpleasant and unsuccessful. Fiedler's specialty is the small, perfect detail, like the tuft of thick, sweaty hair the narrator spies curling from...
