...authors' esoteric empirical studies of student protesters, conducted largely in the early 1970s. The book's conclusions about the unique role of Jewish neuroses in fomenting unrest range from the some-what obvious to the highly suspect. Yet more important is the factual material sprinkled liberally amid the Rorschach blots and data tables: tidbits of information that will compel the curious to investigate further the New Left's strange and unfortunate metamorphosis...
Walker does not regard the photographs as a diagnostic tool like the Rorschach technique, in which patients describe what they see in inkblots and the responses are scored. Nor does he use them like the Thematic Apperception Test, in which viewers reveal personality patterns by constructing stories from a series of pictures. Instead he uses the images as an emotional icebreaker: "The initial response gives me cues about where to go from there." But Canadian Psychologist Paul Lerner, an expert on the Rorschach method believes Walker's approach may very well become a new diagnostic tool for assessing personality...
...Interior, vocals, "Poison" Ivy Rorschach, guitar, Bryan Gregory, guitar, and Nick Knox, drums compose the Cramps, a most unusual foursome. The absence of bass gives the music that trash quality inherent in surf music and early rockabilly.

Terry Won't Talk springs from the refusal of Terry Blade (Mark Linn-Baker) to communicate with his family; as sister Suzy (Marilyn Caskey) announces at the outset, "Momma! Terry won't talk!" Terry becomes a sort of walking Rorschach blot, upon whom each of the characters projects an explanation for his silence: his mother (Elizabeth Norment) thinks someone lied to him; his teacher (Nancy Mayans) thinks he's ill; the principal (John Bottoms) sees it as the silence of a poet; and Mrs. Blade's lover, Chester, who seems to be a regular reader of Existential Digest, ascribes...
Maui, a tiny Rorschach splotch in the North Pacific, is pounded by breakers, caressed by potpourri-fragrant trade winds, usually blessed in some parts by 350 days a year of that still obedient sun. Maui is a microcosm of the world's landscapes and climates. Temperatures range from subarctic to subtropic; rainfall from 3 in. to 400 in. (but this whiter the whole island was drenched with a near record rainfall); the terrain from soaring peaks, impenetrable jungles and black lava promontories to viridian uplands, gossamer falls and beaches of bleached sand...
