...Mother. Given openings like these, psychiatrists are studying skindiving and making of it what they will. One common theory: water is the great mother symbol; divers are only trying to get back to the womb. Another: divers get an omnipotent superman sensation from playing with danger. Whatever the lure, Freud or fun, U.S. divers are going down to the sea or the backyard pond as never before. More than 200 Y.M.C.A.s now teach free diving; more than 500 teach skindiving with held breath alone. Students at the prestigious Horace Mann School in The Bronx get classroom credits in diving...
Said one of his fans last week: "Guardini is like a Renaissance humanist-he seems to have the key to everything. If he speaks about atomic science, one feels he knows all there is to know about modern physics. He can plumb the depths of Freud or analyze the mysticism of Paul Klee's paintings; he can throw new light on the obscure poetry of Hölderlin and Rilke, or expound the strengths and weaknesses of Communist dialectic. Guardini seems to control the bridges that lead from art, from literature, from philosophy -to religion...

...Tenth Man. Paddy Chayefsky finds new material in a Long Island synagogue, when a mentally sick and abandoned girl is returned to life by ancient rites, as surrealism mixes with Freud, demonology with farce...
Long before Havelock Ellis died in 1939, his prestige as a sexologist had been overshadowed by Freud's. His Studies in the Psychology of Sex is so weighted with abnormal cases that to generalize from them is rather like taking a height norm from a sampling of basketball centers. His self-prized autobiography. My Life, is a talky, pseudo-candid aside. In his literary essays, e.g., on Diderot, Whitman, Ibsen, he was an appreciator but no critic. As a thinker he belongs to the age of the New Woman, with its feminists, pacifists and socialists-pressed flowers...
