"The Inventiveness of the Writer," and Other News
April 13, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Günter Grass, best known for his novel The Tin Drum, has died at eighty-seven. "Grass learned a lot from Rabelais and Celine and was influential in development of 'magic realism' and Marquez," Orhan Pamuk said about him. "He taught us to base the story on the inventiveness of the writer no matter how cruel, harsh, and political the story is."
- Joseph Mitchell was on staff at The New Yorker for decades—and yet the magazine has suspiciously few of his bylines. What was he doing all that time? "Mitchell had no idea he was embarking on one of the most celebrated writer's blocks in American letters. In fact, at the time he was juggling a variety of ideas, hoping—assuming—that in his reporting one of them would logically emerge as his next New Yorker piece."
- Distracted? Of course you are—this is 2015. It's in the nature of contemporary society "to manipulate our attention and to profit others … repetitive pseudo-actions create patterns of satisfaction that progressively disconnect us from the world." And for this preponderance of pseudo-actions we can blame one Immanuel Kant, whose "insistence on autonomy … reads as a denial of mutual entanglement."
- Toby Barlow on Derek Walcott and Star Trek: "If any other show had as many scenes in an elevator as Star Trek did, we would have talked about it, complained about it."
- On the Anderson Valley Advertiser, which dubs itself "America's last newspaper" and reads like "Our Town on bad Mendo meth, a Norman Rockwell scene painted in the midst of a weed-wine binge and given a makeover by Hunter S. Thompson."
The Tyranny of Footnotes
February 21, 2012 | by Paul Wachter
Although V. S. Naipaul is my favorite living writer, I resisted reading Patrick French's critically acclaimed biography of Sir Vidia, published in 2008, until last month. The reviews alone presented a deeply unflattering picture: Naipaul as misogynist, racist, skinflint, serial adulterer, and Hindu nationalist. (And to think the biography was authorized!)
But I had read nearly all of Naipaul's work and some of it, including his best novel, A Bend in the River (from whose opening line, "The world is what it is," French takes his title), many times. So when I happened across the biography at my local library, I picked it up thinking it was as close to a new work of Naipaul's as I was likely to see.
It's a masterful effort, a nimble admixture of critical appreciation and salacious gossip. But there were no real surprises in the text; the reviews had limned the most revealing and unsettling episodes of Naipaul's life.
There was, however, a surprise buried in French's acknowledgments. Among the hundred-odd names, sandwiched between Derek Walcott (Naipaul's fellow Trinidadian and rival of sorts) and Andrew Wylie (Naipaul's agent), was one Kanye West.
Kanye West?
Now it's true that the rapper-producer's father is a former Black Panther, and Naipaul wrote an essay "Michael X and the Black Power Killings in Trinidad." And West's late mother was an English professor. Was it possible that Naipaul and West shared a connection beyond their inflated egos?
I e-mailed French. Read More »

Elston Turner scored 19 points and Ray Turner added 15 and a career-high 15 rebounds as Texas A&M got a 76-58 win over Division II Arkansas Tech on Thursday night. The win breaks a two-game skid for the Aggies (9-3) in their last non-conference game before opening Big 12 play on Monday against No. 6 Baylor. Texas A&M was up by 12 points before using an 8-3 run, highlighted by a dunk by freshman Daniel Alexander, to extend its advantage to 51-34 with about 12 minutes remaining. Arkansas Tech (8-2) was led by Johnie Davis, who had 16 points. The Aggies outshot Arkansas Tech 51 percent to 35 percent and had 19 more rebounds with 47 total in the game.

mountain_tac - Thank you for your service to our country! Enjoy your weekend!
Thursday Funny
A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff's deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education than any cop from New Hampshire. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputy's expense.
Deputy says, "License and registration, please."
Lawyer says, "What for?"
Deputy says, " You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."
Deputy says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."
Lawyer says, "What's the difference?"
Deputy says, "The difference is, you have to come to complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!"
Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket."
Deputy says, "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir."
At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving c**p out of the lawyer and says, "Do you want me to stop or just slow down? .

The Food and Drug Administration has announced that it's easing restrictions on gay men donating blood, reversing a policy enacted during the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic decades earlier.
In a statement released Tuesday, the FDA said easing the ban came after several years of research into the matter.
"Following this review, and taking into account the recommendations of advisory committees to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA, the agency will take the necessary steps to recommend a change to the blood donor deferral period for men who have sex with men from indefinite deferral to one year since the last sexual contact," stated the FDA. more >>
Atheist author and activist Sam Harris has taken aim at the head of the National Institutes of Health, arguing that he's an example of an intelligent person pushing religion.
In a recent podcast, Harris cited former director of the Human Genome Research Institute, Dr. Francis Collins, as "a bit of a Bible-thumper."
"He believes in evolution, thankfully, but he also believes that immortal souls and free will were just downloaded onto the hard drive of only one species of primate at some point in history by an almighty God," Harris commented. more >>
The mosquito-born Chikungunya virus has reportedly infected over 1 million people and killed 155 since beginning its spread throughout the Americas a year ago. There is no known treatment or vaccine for the disease, with cases being reported in Florida and Texas as well.
CNN reported on Thursday that every country in Central America has now reported cases of the virus, while the U.S. has noted of 11 confirmed cases this year in Florida. Confirmed cases reported in Texas have been with those who've traveled to the Caribbean and areas where the virus is more common.
"It wasn't until 2013 that unfortunately a traveler resulted in local transmission of Chikungunya," said Erin Staples of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, referring to people infected in the Caribbean island of Saint Martin. more >>
Men who use pornography are less likely to get married, according to a study published last month that shows the easy accessability of porn on the Internet has become a substitute for seeking a marriage partner among men ages 18 to 35.
Authored by Michael Malcolm of the University of West Chester, Pennsylvania, and George Naufal of Timberlake Consultants, the paper, which was published by The Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn, found that "Substitutes for marital sexual gratification may impact the decision to marry."
"We investigate the effect of Internet usage, and of pornography consumption specifically, on the marital status of young men," reads the abstract. "We show that increased Internet usage is negatively associated with marriage formation. Pornography consumption specifically has an even stronger effect. Instrumental variables and a number of robustness checks suggest that the effect is causal." more >>
A recently released study has found that pornography has a negative influence on the sexual encounters of men.
"Results showed the more pornography a man watches, the more likely he was to use it during sex, request particular pornographic sex acts of his partner, deliberately conjure images of pornography during sex to maintain arousal, and have concerns over his own sexual performance and body image," read the study's abstract. The study was published in the December edition of the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
"Further, higher pornography use was negatively associated with enjoying sexually intimate behaviors with a partner. We conclude that pornography provides a powerful heuristic model which is implicated in men's expectations and behaviors during sexual encounters." more >>
The U.S. Census Bureau is considering a plan to eliminate questions about marriage from the American Community Survey. Researchers who use that data and recognize marriage as an important explanatory variable are dismayed by the proposal.
The ACS surveys about 3 million American households every year, making it the largest survey in America outside of the census conducted once every 10 years. The large sample provides researchers with a useful dataset about the U.S. population. The data is also used to determine the distribution of funds for some government programs.
The Census Bureau wants to eliminate some of the questions in order to reduce the amount of time required for each respondent to complete the survey. Among the seven questions on the chopping block, five of them are about marriage. more >>

I've tried setting up the "rev slider" on my home page in DMS 2.0. It is apparently not responsive as one would expect and images crop in various ways beyond designer control when viewed on screens such as iPhones, tablets, etc. Since this feature is really prominent in ads for DMS one would expect it would be responsive without cropping the images, yet it is not? Changing image dimensions does not solve the issues. Since DMS should be able to build these slide shows without custom coding please tell me how to use DMS to build a responsive slide show with full width images that won't crop the images randomly. None of the available configurations of settings worked for me. This was true in 4 browsers, and on other devices. I will be adding text to images since the rev slider options for text are abysmally limited... so random cropping is a big issue. Even if the images had no text when I design an image I expect it to display fully according to my design. Thanks for replying with clear instructions. The URL is only a test URL, http://lotusclient.com. I won't be migrating my client's sites to DMS until I'm convinced it can work as promised.

It's a mission that we are proudly committed to renew each day when we open our doors for business. We specialize in full service landscape and maintenance services throughout Western Washington. What inspired you to start or run this business? Because of the cool, wet winters that are experienced in Western Washington there is a huge need for lawn renovation services. Aerating, thatching, and overseeding lawns is necessary to get rid of the moss and to make a healthy lawn grow in in its place. I take great pride in taking an unkempt, moss-covered lawn, and turning it into the envy of the neighborhood. Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover? In addition to lawn renovation services we also specialize in taking care of the lawn after renovating it. What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer? "I confess to letting the old lawn go last year and it was sure looking poor and neglected. We had moss, weeds and the grass became sparse and weak. This spring I hired Jeff at Growscapes and in only a few months of careful nurturing we have one of the best lawns in our neighborhood. It's really lush and green. I just can't decide if it looks more like the infield in Yankee Stadium or Safeco Field." Tony J. What's your favorite part about your job?

Review quote
"The concept of the glycemic index has been distorted and bastardized by popular writers and diet gurus. Here, at last, is a book that explains what we know about the glycemic index and its importance in designing a diet for optimum health." -- Andrew Weil

It's my moms car. It is pretty good, the power is pretty good too. But the engine could sound more "american" but I guess since it's a Korean car, that can't happen.

Heartbeat International Lobbies Capitol Hill for Deceiving Women
Have you ever seen those advertisements at bus stops or on park benches that say, "Pregnant? Scared?" Those are anti-choice "crisis pregnancy centers" (CPCs) at work - organizations that pretend to be comprehensive health centers but really exist to scare or confuse women out of considering all of their reproductive-health care options.
CPCs are as widespread as they are dangerous. And this week, Heartbeat International, a network of CPCs, hosted a lobby day on Capitol Hill. Members of the group met with members of Congress to argue that CPCs are "good for America."
What Heartbeat International's activists probably didn't mention in these meetings is that many CPCs exist to dissuade women from choosing abortion or birth control - and are often willing to do anything to achieve their goal, including using medically inaccurate information and intimidation.
We whole-heartedly believe that anyone seeking health-care services should receive comprehensive, unbiased, and medically and factually accurate information.
CPCs? Not so much.
They often set up shop right next to abortion providers hoping that a person arriving for their appointment will accidentally walk in a CPC instead.
While some CPCs provide appropriate support to women who need extra help during pregnancy, most don't. Our investigations have proven again and again that many intentionally give medically inaccurate information about contraception and pregnancy options, and manipulate or even coerce women.
Here's one lie we've uncovered:
What could be worse for a woman trying to make an informed decision about her reproductive health and well-being than being scared and misled by anti-choice CPCs employees?
That's why we've created resources to raise awareness about the dangers of CPCs. Check them out and please share widely.
Help us make sure that women aren't misled into entering a CPC. The best way to support women is by providing full, unbiased, and truthful information about health-care options. Not propaganda, lies, or intimidation.

A tide-driven generator comprising a prime mover connected between an inlet conduit which is suspended at a fixed depth near the surface of the ocean and a discharge conduit which is supported on or near the ocean floor. A plurality of outwardly directed ports in the discharge conduit wall enable the continuously flowing, outgoing undertow to entrain and induce flow in the discharge conduit so that there is flow in the system, even at outgoing tide.
1. A tide-driven generator comprising:
an on-shore power station;
an inlet conduit extending from a predetermined depth below the zone of surface wave action of a body of sea water to said station;
means for maintaining said inlet conduit at said predetermined depth;
a discharge conduit extending from said station, along the ocean bed to open into said body of sea water adjacent the ocean bed; and
a prime mover at said station connected between said inlet and discharge conduit to be driven by flow of sea water therethrough.
2. The tide-driven generator defined by claim 1 including:
a plurality of downstream-directed ports around and along said discharge conduit so that outgoing tide will promote flow therethrough.
3. The tide-driven generator defined by claim 1 wherein said depth maintaining means comprises:
a plurality of floats; and
a plurality of suspension members secured to and along said inlet conduit;
each of said suspension members being secured to a float.
4. The tide-driven generator defined by claim 1 wherein:
said prime mover is a rotary turbine.
Many efforts have been made to utilize the energy in ocean tides and currents, but none has been commercially successful. One problem resides in the fact that the current and tides are generally bi-directional and inconsistent, rendering it difficult to translate it into a uni-directional, constant speed drive, which is desirable for the production of electricity.
It is an object of this invention to provide a system for generating electricity from ocean currents and tides, including a uni-directional prime mover.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a system for generating energy from ocean tides, which is of basic construction and reliable in operation.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the description to follow, particularly when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
In carrying out this invention, I provide an inlet conduit and a discharge conduit both of which extend into the ocean from a power generating station on shore. The inlet conduit is suspended from floats or the like so as to be positioned at a relatively shallow depth, but below the more violent action of surface waves. The discharge conduit is positioned on or just above the ocean floor so that the continuously outgoing current or undertow induces outward flow in the discharge conduit as it flows past the discharge opening, as well as past outwardly directed ports in and around the wall of the discharge duct. Hence, at incoming tide there is a positive flow through the inlet conduit and through a prime mover, such as a water turbine, in the power generating station and then out through the outlet discharge duct. Even at outgoing tide, the flow is induced by the constantly outward movement near the ocean bottom, so that there is a constant and continuous undirectional rotation of the turbines, which drive the generators to generate electricity.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a section view showing the energy producing system of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a section view of the prime movers and generator forming features of this invention; and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged section view showing a flow producing discharge pipe.
Referring now to FIG. 1 with greater particularity, the power plant 10 of this invention is preferably located at an on-shore location 12, as in an underground bunker 14 located below the low tide level L.T. Mounted in the bunker power station 12 are one or more rotary water turbines 16, which drive at least one electric generator 18 (FIG. 2). The power room 20 is reached by convenient access openings 22 and a maintenance, crew and communications center may be provided in the space 24 above. The complex is accessible from above ground through a port 26.
Directed to each turbine 16 is an inlet pipe or conduit 28 which discharges seawater into the turbine wheel 30 through a suitable nozzle 31. The inlet pipe is preferably maintained at a suitable depth near the ocean's surface S, but below the low tide line L.T. as by suspending the pipe on cables 32 which, in turn, depend from floats 34. The precise depth at which the inlet pipe 28 is to be maintained, is subject to experimentation, but it should be close enough to the surface that the full effects of incoming tides I.T. may be utilized, but deep enough that the rotational and reciprocal movements of the wave action are not counterproductive. The inlet pipe 28 may be provided with flexible joints 36 and 38 so that the outer extent of pipe 28a can be maintained at the desired depth through changing tides, while a certain amount of gravity feed can be utilized at a downward slope 28b directed to the stationary, horizontal delivery length 28c.
Extending from an outlet 40 from each turbine 16 as a discharge pipe 42 which extends on or along the ocean floor F as by means of suitable anchors 44. As indicated by the arrows U.T. in FIG. 2, the tidal flow or undertow along the ocean floor is constantly in an outward direction. Taking advantage of this characteristic, there are provided in the outer stretches of the discharge pipe 42 a multiplicity of ports 46 (FIG. 3), which preferably have cowlings 48 over which the current flows, creating a low pressure area which entrains the water from within the pipe and induces its flow along with the current represented by the arrows U.T. Further flow is likewise induced at the discharge opening 48. Hence, even at outgoing tides, the undertow U.T. persists and flow is induced through the discharge pipe 42 which, in turn, induces flow through the inlet pipe 28. At incoming tides, indicated by the arrows I.T. there is positive flow through the inlet pipe 28 to drive the turbine 16. Hence, the turbine 16 and generator 18 may be kept in constant rotation for continuous power production.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system conduit 28 and 42 may be positioned below a suitable pier 50 mounted on the pilings 52 where the effects of the surface wave action are minimized.
While this invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiment thereof, it is obvious that modifications and changes therein may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention, as defined by the claims appended hereto.

GLENDALE, AZ - JANUARY 03: (R-L) Quarterback Aaron Rodgers #12 and Ryan Grant #25 of the Green Bay Packers walk through the tunnel before taking on the Arizona Cardinals during the NFL game at the Universtity of Phoenix Stadium on January 3, 2010 in Glendale, Arizona. The Packers defeated the Cardinals 33-7. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers had a monster day, throwing for three TDs and rushing for another in their rout of the Tennessee Titans 55-7. He wasn't the only Packer with a big day. Receiver Randall Cobb set a new team record for single-season net yardage, and RB Ryan Grant ran for 80 yards on 20 carries and scoring two TDs. The Packers defense made sure Titans QB Jake Locker (13/30, 140 YDS, 1 TD, 2 INT) was in for a terrible day. He was sacked a total of seven times, but managed to avoid the shutout in the finals minutes. The Packers, at 11-5, still have a shot at the no. 2 seed if Seattle beats the 49ers, but the win today ensure them the 3 seed. Meanwhile, the Titans sit at 5-10 as they wrap up another dismal season next week. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

The West's response to the situation in Georgia evades acknowledgement of the damage Georgia's President Mikheil Saakashvili has done to the United States and NATO, and to Georgia itself, which for the foreseeable future will now be a nation of limited sovereignty, and an awkward embarrassment to its Western allies.
AP photo / Dmitry Lovetsky
Russia has formally recognized the independence of the two separatist Georgian states, prompting jeers abroad and cheers in the regions in question. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili rather theatrically compared the declaration to the conduct of Hitler and Stalin.
Upping the ante in Moscow-Washington tension over the border war between Russia and its former satellite state, Bush announced Wednesday that the U.S. military is flying humanitarian aid to Georgia, with his secretary of state to follow. Georgia's president, however, is spinning this as the first step in a U.S. military intervention.
Georgia bombed separatists in the country's South Ossetia region Tuesday evening, killing 25; Russia rolled an estimated 150 tanks into Georgia in retaliation, ostensibly to defend the region's high Russian immigrant population. Georgia pleads its case as a "freedom-loving" nation to garner U.S. support; any semblance of logic retreats.

Prospects Rise for Curbs on Cash-Balance Pension Plans
By RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.
Published: September 22, 1999
The fight over cash-balance pensions has moved to Congress, where lobbyists and Congressional aides say the dispute over I.B.M.'s pension switch will probably help spur legislation to rein in the plans.
Any legislative action may not occur until next year, they said, but even business lobbying groups and other opponents of new cash-balance regulations say the controversy has heightened lawmakers' awareness of the issue and appears to have improved chances for legislation.
Under cash-balance plans, which have been adopted by hundreds of large companies in recent years, employees earn retirement benefits evenly throughout their careers. With traditional plans, benefits are figured using an employee's length of service and final pay, so most benefits are earned late in the person's career.
What has caught the attention of the Internal Revenue Service and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission -- both are reviewing the new plans to see if they violate age-discrimination laws -- are conversions that in some cases have reduced benefits for middle-aged employees by one-fifth to one-half.
After protests by thousands of its workers, I.B.M. on Friday backed down from a full-scale switch to a cash-balance plan, allowing any employee at least 40 years old and with a decade of service to keep the old pension benefits.
Despite the move, many I.B.M. workers are still upset, and a Senate committee yesterday held a four-hour hearing to examine whether pension switches there and at other companies have harmed workers.
Stuart Brown, chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Service, testified that the agency had never said that the plans result in violations, per se, of age-discrimination laws. But he said existing regulations, which generally state that pensions do not run afoul of age-discrimination rules solely because of lower future benefit accruals for older workers, are being re-examined.
''These regulations were proposed before significant numbers of cash-balance plan conversions had occurred, and the special issues posed by cash-balance plans were not considered or addressed at the time they were developed,'' Mr. Brown said.
''Employers making cash-balance- plan conversions must promise each employee the greater of the protected benefits under the original defined-benefit formula or the benefits calculated under the new cash-balance formula,'' he said. ''In practice, some may not.''
And for companies that have already received notification of tax-favored status for their new cash-balance plans, the I.R.S. ''will generally not seek retroactive disqualification of a plan.'' But he added that I.R.S. approval does not mean that employees whose rights are violated by the new plan cannot sue to recover benefits.
The legislative proposals now circulating in Congress include forcing companies that convert to a cash-balance plan to give all employees a choice of sticking with the old plan; prohibiting ''wear away,'' or conversions that leave some employees working years before they start accruing benefits again, and forcing companies to explain clearly to employees how much a switch will reduce future benefits.
Cash-balance opponents note that two months ago, well before the I.B.M. reversal and Federal investigations, a proposal by Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, to eliminate wear-away failed by only a 52-to-48 vote.
''Most members of Congress have sympathy with this,'' said Karen Friedman, director of the Pension Fairness Project at the Pension Rights Center in Washington.
Employer groups also say the uproar has increased chances for legislation. There is ''a greater possibility that something beyond'' a law simply tightening disclosure of benefit changes will pass, said James Delaplane, vice president for retirement policy at the Association of Private Pension and Welfare Plans.
But he cautioned that too many new regulations could end up hurting workers. He noted, as did Mr. Brown of the I.R.S., that nothing prohibits companies from terminating pension plans, as long as they pay all benefits already earned.
Companies might otherwise scrap their plans if they have to lock in a certain amount of future benefit accruals, regardless of ''how tough the competition is or no matter if your company is in trouble,'' Mr. Delaplane said, adding that ''it's better to have these plans in place for folks than to terminate them.''

Scott's Liquid Gold shareholder offers to buy all of CEO's shares
Timothy Stabosz, the largest outside shareholder at Denver-based Scott's Liquid Gold Inc., has offered to buy all of the shares held by CEO Mark Goldstein for 50 cents a share.
The catch? The offer, made June 6, was conditioned on removal of the company's 15 percent shareholder rights plan, typically called a "poison pill."
A poison pill plan is used as way to fend off company takeovers by forcing the bidder to negotiate with the board before they buy up the company's stock.
The company, with the ticker SLGD, has traded in the over-the-counter markets in a 52-week range of 12 to 47 cents a share.
Stabosz said in a press release today that CEO Mark Goldstein declined his offer.
Goldstein couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Stabosz, who owns 7.2 percent of the company's stock, has long been a vocal critic of the company's management.
"The fact of the matter is, the value of Scott's Liquid Gold would be maximized, if Goldstein were gone, or if the company were sold outright," Stabosz said in the release. "Being forced to remain 'tethered' to a CEO, who has caused the company to lose money for 10 consecutive years, and 14 out of the last 15 years, is a form of subjugation, for the outside shareholder base, that is morally, ethically, and fiduciarily untenable for this board to continue to perpetrate."
Stabosz, of LaPorte, Ind., said he will vote at the company's annual meeting Friday to withhold the entire board of directors, against executive pay, for "say on pay," and for a proposal calling on the company to adopt cumulative voting for directors.
Scott's board has accused Stabosz of running a "reckless campaign" against the company aimed at getting Scott's to buy his shares and not those of other shareholders.
Stabosz said his move to buy Goldstein's share was a way "to call the board's bluff."

Product description
One of America's preeminent psychiatrists draws on his famous Study of Adult Development to give us a look at how the mind's defenses work. What we see as the mind's trickery, George Vaillant tells us, is actually healthy. What's more, it can reveal the mind at its most creative and mature, soothing and protecting us in the face of unbearable reality, managing the unmanageable, ordering disorder. And because creativity is so intrinsic to this alchemy of the ego, Vaillant mingles his studies of obscure lives with psychobiographies of famous artists and others - including Florence Nightingale, Sylvia Plath, Anna Freud, and Eugene O'Neill.

Review quote
The rumor of the death of Ego Psychology is greatly exaggerated. As long as George Vaillant writes his engaging books extolling the wisdom of ego psychology it is destined to remain part of our theoretical landscape...The Wisdom of the Ego is written with the author's vivid, sometimes witty and consistently clear style, happily interspersed with numerous examples both from his longitudinal studies, as well as from biographies of well-known people...One need not agree with all of Vaillant's premises to appreciate and enjoy this colorful and many-faceted book. I cannot think of a better, more absorbing book to introduce clinical graduate students and clinicians in general to an up-dated version of the best ideas of ego psychology. -- Sophie Freud American Journal of Psychotherapy Vaillant tells us that ego defenses are not pathological formations or symptoms of mental illness. They are ingenious self-deceptions that serve adaptation...He is to be commended for bringing certain unconscious processes into focus and for illuminating the various ways in which ego defenses contribute to a person's adaptation to life. -- Louise J. Kaplan Boston Sunday Globe The thesis of The Wisdom of the Ego is most persuasively developed by the use of life histories, some of which derive from subjects in Vaillant's study groups but many of which are derived from life histories of famous individuals. The reader gets delicious insights into the way that life experiences shaped the ego's defensive repertoire and how these defenses then shaped the careers of characters as diverse as Beethoven and Emily Dickinson, Tolstoy and Henry Ford, and Gandhi and Josef Mengele...The illustrations offered by these famous lives result in a book that is entertaining and memorable. -- John G. Gunderson, M.D. American Journal of Psychiatry Mental health, social fitness, creativity, self-deception, success and failure are documented with uplifting humor and nobility. Medical and psychiatric understanding is eruditely conveyed with the good taste of a fine after-dinner story. Canadian Medical Association Journal A stimulating presentation of theory and research on ego development. Choice
