...those who think an optimistic Freudian is like a Swiss admiral, there is always Erik Erikson. Freud's vision, despite his promise of healing, was a dark one, overlaid with personal and cultural pessimism. Erikson, now 72 and in semiretirement in California, is probably the most influential living psychoanalyst and certainly the most optimistic thinker the Freudian tradition has produced. His famous work on religious leaders (Luther, Gandhi) attempts to show how men can use neurotic conflict for constructive social purposes while healing themselves in the process...
...engines look as if they might have provided the angel Morani's means of levitation. There are about twelve of them, large ceramic pyramids crowned with shiny lengths of copper pipe and arcs of lavender plastic tubing. They bristle with brass nozzles and colored buttons and toggle switches. Overlaid on their basic gray-green, Boston beanpot color are gleaming red and blue zigzags, rows of tiny gold stars, and a gaudy, iridescent rainbow glaze. They have no discernible source of power and no visible moving parts, though at least one of them (The Rippe 1921 Virgin Gas Engine) is said...
Darius and his quartet offer a thinking man's kind of jazz, usually overlaid with intricate rhythms and marzipan harmonies from the Near and Far East.

But Jazz Great Gerry Mulligan's attacks on baritone sax are crisp and clean, and Brubeck and Mulligan bob and glide together like Astaire and Rogers doing the Big Apple. For a finale, Mulligan, the three...
...economy is also less than wholesome, and unemployment remains comparatively high. The war continues to be a divisive question, as it has been for years, and it is overlaid with a deep popular cynicism that must contaminate any President who touches it. As Nixon continues the bombing of the North and shifts troops into Thai land to make good his withdrawal claims, as Nguyen Van Thieu claims dictatorial powers (see THE WORLD), it may be that the President is already overdrawing his accounts. An agreement in Paris, of course, could dissolve the issue before November...
Odyssey games are designed for all ages. Several, like "Cat and Mouse," are variations on the game of tag. If the cat intercepts the mouse's flight through an overlaid maze of squares, the mouse disappears from the screen. Other games are designed to be educational. In "States," for example, a map of the U.S. is attached to the screen and children are asked the name of the state illuminated by the square of light. In an electronic version of roulette, bets are placed on a separate board and a light square moves around a simulated wheel before coming...
