...parties to bolster their support? Sudhir Kakar, who has written a novel based on the Kama Sutra and one of dozens of new translations of the ancient text, says the answer is both. "The people who protest want the masses to be offended by [the kiss]," says Kakar, a psychoanalyst and a former senior fellow at the Center for Study of World Religions at Harvard. "They want people not to go down the road towards erotic freedom. There's a struggle going on for their votes, actually." (See pictures of famous couples...
...wrecking job on the notion that dreams are a random by-product of REM sleep was carried out by the South African neuroscientist and psychoanalyst Solms, who was working at the Royal London Hospital in the 1990s when he made his career-defining discoveries.

It's the familiar Freudian tale of a man acting as his own psychoanalyst, plumbing the past to unearth some terrible secret, which he then tries to exorcise - all right, by becoming a serial killer. That's a twist, though hardly a surprise to the people seeing this movie. Nor will Hannibal's method stir the shock of the new in moviegoers. He simply becomes...
