Total Immersion. No introvert, Humphrey wastes little time brooding on this or any other problem that is patently beyond his control. He sees the road ahead as two parallel lines. First, in full awareness that his prospects for the foreseeable future rest almost entirely in Lyndon Johnson's hands, he intends to discharge his vice-presidential duties precisely as the President prescribes. Second, Humphrey aims to maintain his own political links around the country, has already stumped enthusiastically on behalf of Democratic candidates and the party coffers, and will doubtless intensify his campaign efforts as the November elections...
...bloomin' lot more of this if enough people had the time and money." His fixed stare and halting accents never quite cancel out the suspicion that he is just the sort of menace a comely bird might yearn to be imprisoned by-a vaguely Heathcliffian introvert reviving a Brontë romance in modern dress.

Jung rarely bothers to pursue an idea much past the bellwether dream that gave it birth. The fault of the introvert (a word Jung coined) is a reluctance to consider the significance of life in any terms but his own, and it is a fault that becomes the very spirit of Jung's book. The only encounter of his life he discusses in detail is his stormy meeting with Freud, to whom Jung pays the compliment of a full chapter (Jung's wife of 52 years is scarcely mentioned...
