...story-teller Lewis Carroll was a pioneer in mathematics and photography. Meyer Schapiro, the 1967 Charles Eliot Norton lecturer, combines this same curiosity and inventiveness with a profound, human sensitivity. While he is an art historian by profession he is conversant with subjects as diverse as semiotics and Freudian psychology...
Wilson found it difficult "to maintain friendly relations with men of superior intellect or position," write the authors. Why? They were father figures against whom he could vent the repressed hostility toward his own father, which, as any amateur Freudian knows, lurked behind the ostentatious affection.

How about the Virginia Woolves? There are also the Napoleonic Wars, Rasputin and the Chains, the Driving Stupid, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Dow Jones and the Industrials...
...commuter's lock step, a cocktail party. It is apparent that interviewers and applicants alike need help: instead of the bread of life, they are fed vacuous cliches by intellectual bubble-gum blowhards representing the church, state, politics and psychoanalysis. One of the self-frocked priests of the Freudian age opens his mouth to say: "Blah, blah, blah, blah-hostile. Blah, blah, blah, blah-penis. Blah, blah, blah, blah -mother.
