...full course credit for it. One not only has to read a good, solid 200 pages or more for each 2 hour fortnightly session, but one has also to write 6,000 words in essays.

His second wife and his nine-year-old daughter (by his first marriage) are in analysis, too; his first wife has already been analyzed...

Some say it dates from the 1880s, when, for the first time, regular word of extra-Bloom-ington events came stuttering in over the newfangled press service telegraph and-in Bloomington, anyway-took a greedy grip on Page One.
