Sirs: The comments on Sigmund Freud (TIME, May 23) could hardly have been made by an ordinary book reviewer, because a tricky and greatly misquoted theory was handled quite truthfully. I usually expect to hear some crackpot sound off with the squirrel cage statement that all Freud's dream translations and all Freud's theories...
...Eighty-two -year -old Sigmund Freud and his family last week were allowed to leave Vienna, went to London.
