...brother, amen," a King aide cried: "War has been declared in Birmingham. War has been declared on segregation." The Negro leaders intended it to be a particular, pacific kind of war. King had preached Gandhi's nonviolent protest gospel ever since he arrived in Birmingham. The demonstrations were meant to be an outgrowth of the passive sit-ins and bus boycotts mounted in other Southern cities. But not every Negro in Birmingham remained so placid before Bull Connor's ferocity. "Those Black Apes." So there was violence. It began shortly after noon the next day. Connor...
...Great Propagators. By the thousands people came-upper Madison Avenue ladies interestedly peering at The Kiss, a beatnik who had to see the show even if it meant lugging the baby uptown, suburban matrons intelligently relating Rodin to the Greeks.

Having lost his God, Jung says, Freud had made an even more terrible god out of sexuality. "Sexuality evidently meant more to Freud than to other people," Jung wrote. "For him it was something to be religiously observed." To Jung, Freud was a tragic figure-an authoritarian beset with the curse of the Caesars, a hollow old man haunted by obsessions. At last, Jung dreamed of Freud conclusively...
