...Bersani is a Freudian, and Bonaccorsisi denounces her for her "new ideas." Shortly thereafter, he makes a pass, which is firmly rejected. The doctor goes back to his microscope and believes he has discovered the deadly schizo germ. His future seems assured until Dr. Bersani looks at his slides and tells him the germ is just a drop of faulty solvent. This precipitates a crisis: Bonaccorsisi finally wonders if he is going...

He was an early critic of censorship that allows children to watch dramatizations of murder and mayhem but prevents them from seeing people making love.

By 1946 the very word elegance-the passion of Nadelman's life and the quality of his sculptures-had become suspect. "Elegance" had nothing to do with social utility, or Freudian disclosures, those ruling interests of a postwar American avantgarde. So the oubliette yawned and swallowed...
