...Imaginative writers," Sigmund Freud once wrote, "are valuable colleagues; in the knowledge of the human heart, they are far ahead of us common folk." That view is accepted at Brown University in Providence, R.I. For the past three years, the university has been offering a unique course in psychiatry that uses the insights of gifted playwrights to teach premedical students about emotional disturbances they may some day encounter in their patients...
...quite so many satisfying signs. At best, with wages frozen, their buying power will remain stationary if prices also stay fixed?a condition that few union leaders believe will prevail.

Then at the height of his fame he was hit by an incurable cancer and died without witnessing the full impact of his ideas.
