...where a road turns off the river and, sure enough, the tracks came from that direction. We followed the tracks until the next intersection, where they turned north. On the radio we learned that one of Lomblot's night agents had spotted three Mexicans walking north with inner tubes. Perhaps the tubes helped them cross the river, and now, desperate for money, they would try to sell them. For a while, Lomblot lost the tracks, but he continued along the road, always angling toward the north. The paved road stopped at a farmhouse with only a dirt road continuing...
...positive strengths of man's ego, rather than on the negative threat of the aggressive id, as Freud did. Erikson's work is full of words like "adaptation," "leeway," "growth," and "ingenuity;" he moves past Sigmund and Anna Freud's focus on the defenses that repress or rechannel erupting inner drives, emphasizing instead the "potentialities" of fuller ego-adaption, attained through a mutually reinforcing and self-fulfilling relation between psychology and culture.

...strong, the prisoner once wrote, a man "must be able to stand utterly alone, able to meet and deal with life relying solely upon his own inner resources." To show that he was such a man, he once held his hand over a candle flame without flinching. This is G. Gordon Liddy, 46, eccentric ex-lawyer who was sentenced to 20 years as a ringleader in the original Watergate breakin. The last of the seven Watergate burglars still incarcerated, Liddy has steadfastly refused to talk about the conspiracy, or to show, in John Sirica's words, "even a hint...
