Titled Freud: Biologist of the Mind (Basic Books), this iconoclastic study does not deny Freud's achievement. Says Author Frank J. Sulloway, 32, a historian of science and a postdoctoral fellow in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley: "What remains today of Freud's insights and influence ... provides ample testimony to his greatness."

One layer, only a centimeter thick and tracing back 65 million years, showed a sharp excess of iridium, an element 1,000 times more plentiful in otherworldly matter than in the earth's crust. The "spike" in the readings made a sobering point. "It's the first experimental evidence...

When caught, college thieves and cheaters tended to say, "I didn't do anything that everyone else isn't doing." Faculties were not much help. Many, Lament reports, objected to taking a moral stand for fear of "sounding like scolds" to their students. As a University of Chicago...
