...crown, a giant's autograph, or something equally fantastic which would mean putting on my armor at once and setting out for the Orient?" Into such hyperbolic reveries crept the unaffected but affecting confession: "I was in love with none and am now with one." He was absurdly jealous and the two had their tiffs...
...spread too thin-there were not enough members of the Kennedy family, enough brisk young Harvardmen, enough seasoned toilers from the primaries to blanket the entire U.S. In some states, Bobby settled for second-rate, amateurish local leaders; in others, imported Kennedymen were hampered by local feuds and politicians jealous of outside intruders.

...real Mrs. Breuer was indeed very jealous of Anna O., causing her husband to give up the case. Anna O., writes Freud's Biographer Ernest Jones, thereupon entered "the throes of an hysterical childbirth, the logical termination of a phantom pregnancy that had been invisibly developing in response to Breuer's ministrations." But no one succeeded in freeing her from the basic source of her trouble-the fact that her beloved father had died of a heart attack in a Neapolitan brothel...
