...year, sex was still primarily something to be enjoyed in the Vienna woods rather than to be talked about by learned doctors, and all seemed well with the world. But Vienna's Dr. Sigmund Freud was gloomy: two heretics, Carl Jung and Alfred Adler, had rebelled against the Freudian tenets. In this crisis, six loyal disciples solemnly undertook to uphold the straight gospel, and to each, Freud presented a jewel. That was in 1912, and of the select six, only one survives: Ernest Jones, 74, a spry, Homburg-hatted little Welshman* whom Freud called the greatest psychoanalyst...
...Communist Party tics of other tenured professors may well lead them to slant their teaching to a party line, especially in the social sciences. Yet the AAU would not fire a dogmatic Marxist or Freudian, both of whom blind themselves to all but a single cause; or a Catholic, whose ideas on certain subjects must change at the order of the Pope.

Having Piper Laurie around is never unpleasant, but if you come to see her act you had better stay at home. Probably the most creditable actress is Julia Adams, whose unrequited love of Fallon has moments of convincing tenderness...
...clinking-chain school. Instead of haunting damp Ruddigorean castles, most contemporary ghosts seem to have settled into fashionable flats, where they play hob with the call bells and the central heating. Moreover, the authors in Editor Asquith's collection have adulterated an old-fashioned art form with Freudian complexes and social crisis; they have forgotten that the one thing a ghost story does not need is a rational explanation...
