...added such words as introvert, extravert and complex (in its psychological meaning) to the party patter of millions, Jung has indeed great difficulty in making people see what he means. That is partly because he has explored yoga, alchemy, fairy tales, the tribal rites of the Pueblo Indians, German romantic philosophers, Zen Buddhism, extrasensory perception and the cave drawings of prehistoric man, along with an estimated 100,000 dreams. But when Dr. Jung is accused of having left medicine for mysticism, he replies that psychiatry must take into account all of man's experience, from the most intensely practical...

McNeill also interviews selected guests, ranging from such visiting stars as Bob Hope to such personalities as Elmer Feagin...
...interested to know that the signature of John Foster Dulles [TIME, Feb. 2] reveals a brilliant extrovert, as compared to Dean Acheson, the brilliant introvert. Secretary Dulles' high, straight-lined, strikingly original capital letters indicate self-assurance and the ability to cope with big problems . . . The fluent illegibility of his other letters with their rounded formation and slightly forward slant shows a swift, uninhibited mentality combined with amiability...
