...first they seemed to be an odd pair-the introspective President, a cold-minded engineer with a passion to get every detail right, and the Bunyanesque extravert (the front license plate of his limousine on Inauguration Day proclaimed BERT; the rear one, LANCE), who cheerfully mangled facts in his haste to paint the big picture. But there were deep bonds between the two opposites. At 46, Lance was closer in age to the President, who is 52, than most of the young Georgians who made up the White House's inner circle.

Jung the theoretician made his name synonymous with such terms as archetype, introvert and extravert. Jung the religious healer believed the goal of psychiatry was to release and develop the divine within each individual. He broke with Freud by placing unsatisfied spiritual hungers rather than repressed sexuality at the center of personality disorders. Freudians could always counter that those pangs are just another symptom of stifled libido...
