...clinical experience. The old compulsion neuroses and guilt feelings, many psychologists report, are being replaced by diffuse anxiety neuroses and a vague sense of meaninglessness. According to Chicago Psychiatrist Dr. Marvin Ziporyn, the new fashion in popular psychology "reflects a greater interest in social interrelationships-it's more outward in its direction. All the introspective talk of castration anxiety, latent homosexuality or oral emphasis has been replaced by sibling rivalry, alienation, dependency, powerlessness in society, fear of freedom. The new accent is on society. I know very few psychiatrists who even mention Oedipus to their patients any more...
Having grown outward, Los Angeles is now in the process of growing upward, a shift reflected in the thrusting towers near city hall and the modern, luxury high-rise apartment houses that now line the west end of Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills and Westwood.

Which makes just about everybody happy: the Nepalese because they get a plenipotentiary who knows their problems, and Carol because, as she said, "I won't have...
...hero of the film, Miguelin, played by an actual matador named Miguelin, rises from poverty to become a famous bullfighter. Although the outward circumstances of his life seem to change for the better, Rosi continually insinuates that they don't. The impressario who grabs a fat chunk of Miguelin's salary as a matador closely resembles the labor contractor he worked for in the slums of Barcelona. Similarly, whores with diamond earrings are no different from the 100 pesatas per night girls he met while still a dock worker. Rosi carries these parallels to extremes; even the jet-set types...
