Oddly, I have never learned to play chess, but after reading about the people who do play and why they play, I think I should take it up. Like Dr. Karl Menninger, I need a hobby in which destructiveness and aggressiveness can be worked off. Like Dr. Menninger also, I think it is time for me to give up hunting because it is too destructive of our remaining wildlife...

Dr. Karl Menninger, an aggressive Freudian analyst, once declared: "It seems to be necessary for some of us to have a hobby in which aggressiveness and destructiveness are given opportunity for expression, and since I long ago gave up hunting (because it is too destructive), I have found myself returning more and more...
