Despite all the groundwork, the outlook was not bright for Squaw when the meeting opened. Huffed a German delegate to Cushing: "Don't think you are going to parlay one ski lift into an Olympic Game." Even a U.S. delegate sneered: "Who's going to vote for you? I'm not." Austria's Innsbruck was Squaw's chief competitor, and seemed a sure winner when one of the delegates charged that Squaw was totally unprepared to stage an Olympics, furthermore should be disqualified because it was not a town (it still is not). Summoned...
...Erich Fromm, one of the most eminent of today's analysts, who differs with Freud on many vital issues, has subjected the founder to a searching analysis from the outside. It is not the first such effort, but the best. In Sigmund Freud's Mission, (Harper; $3), German-born Author Fromm casts grave doubt on Biographer Ernest Jones's description of Freud's self-analysis as "an imperishable feat" (TIME, Sept. 19, 1955), which got most of the kinks out of his psyche. Far from it, says Fromm, who doubles in sociology and philosophy; in Freud...

Says Crahay: "Couturiers can make a living only if the ready-to-wear buyers purchase their things; so we have to design for the woman in the street. Isn't it pleasant, after all, that you can make...
...Magnus, biographer of Edmund Burke, Gladstone and Walter Raleigh, has painted in Kitchener the picture of a man as oldfashioned, absurd and honorable as a Royal Academy portrait. It was probably with some relief that Kitchener's colleagues learned that the Royal Navy cruiser H.M.S. Hampshire hit a German mine in the North Sea in 1916 and was lost with nearly all hands. Yet it was as if an empire had sunk with Kitchener...
