Robert Coles was trained as a child psychiatrist, and is now engaged in research with a base at the University Health Services. He also teaches a section of Professor Erik Erikson's undergraduate course, "The Human Life Cycle." His office is in the basement of a nondescript Harvard building. It is filled with books from the social sciences, poetry, and fiction, and the walls are covered with pictures of Southern school children and migrant workers. He writes more articles, of consistently high quality, than any man I know...

His thick medical folder didn't impress the board at first, although he has something he calls "cancerous arthritis."

...defense produced a psychiatrist who, in a certain sense, agreed with Mme. Vasseur. He testified that Vasseur was "emotionally castrated" by her as a child, and embraced his grisly Gestapo duties because they gave him a chance to express his virility. "To this day," observed the psychiatrist, "he always refers to her as Maman (Mummy), and suffered most in jail from seeing Maman only once a week." The court listened impassively, then sentenced him to be shot unless-as seems unlikely-Charles de Gaulle grants him a pardon. To the end he maintained that, although guilty of many crimes...
