...elections, which saw more Negroes voting Republican than at any time in two decades, convinced Northern and Western Democrats that they must start paying more than lip service to civil rights. The elections also encouraged Republicans to try even harder for the Negro's vote. Result: at least 70 Senators and a healthy House majority are determined to pass a civil-rights bill. In the face of such strength, the Southern leaders of Congress, who pride themselves on recognizing (and facing) reality, are prepared to give...
...precise opposite of stodginess. True realism rises to the challenges of continual change, visible and invisible. It showed its strength in the guardians at the gates of American painting history.

Though Pioneer Freud made a tremendous contribution, Progoff believes that his analytical and reductive point of view "leads to a dead end for depth psychology." At the heart of Progoff's case against Freud is the fact that he saw man almost entirely as a material being controlled by biological urges. Thus man's spiritual search for the "core of his being"-which is essential in every religion and almost every philosophy of life-was reduced by Freud to a matter of the "superego accepting the ego."
