...THIS SOFTER VIEW of Freud makes some of the turmoil of the early psychoanalytic movement more reasonable. Freud's dramatic break with Jung over infantile sexuality was more than a disagreement between two men who shared a penchant for scientific heresy. The rivalry had been building to an icy separation for years, with Freud at first uncritically embracing his bright new supporter, then burdening him with the administration of the International Psychoanalytic Association, and finally resenting even Jung's greater physical stature. In a photograph taken at the Weimar Congress in 1911. Freud at five foot seven seems taller than...
...Angeles. By 1968 Joni had moved west, settling into a funky Laurel Canyon cottage. It was a time of unrest on campuses and growing resistance to Viet Nam.

Bailey's has by far the most charm of the three--marble floors and highquality ice cream--but its selection is limited and its prices high. A Bailey's single scoop cone is 40 cents, as opposed to 30 cents at Brigham...
...disputes within his own Administration about what position the U.S. should take on arms control. The real danger to a fair agreement is not a Nixon sellout but the fact that the Administration might make a mistake because of poor preparation. The Pentagon is at odds with the softer position of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and Kissinger is trying to reconcile them...
