...Many psychiatrists have a fairly fixed idea that the world is badly bent, and a set conviction that psychiatry can straighten it out. Last week, in Geneva, Danish Psychiatrist P. J. Reiter suggested to the second annual assembly of the World Federation for Mental Health that every top official in all branches of government in all countries "ought to have his head examined." A physical checkup, thought Dr. Reiter, would be a good idea too. Examinations should be conducted by boards composed of a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a sociologist and a physician. Of course, added Dr. Reiter, before ruling...
...play itself (which Eliot charted last year with complex blackboard diagrams at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study) marked his departure from Greek myth and medieval legend. Set in a modern London flat and a psychiatrist's Harley Street office, it contained social chitchat, a bawdy ballad and a couple of interlocking triangles. But, true to form, devout Anglo-Catholic Eliot had underlaid his comedy with sober Christian dialectic.

...erudite rumblings, and entertained her employer in dialect that Amos 'n' Andy would consider extravagant. In his New York office, shapely Tally, possessor of a delightful A-to-B cultural range, was in charge. Richard's heart, however, belonged to Zoe Else, a New York psychiatrist whose attractions were heightened by a familiarity with Bartlett's Familiar Quotations that was almost as inclusive as his own. In spite of verbal protestations of physical and emotional fireworks on both sides, their affair never climbed above the level of a quiz contest...
