...plot now planned, Dr. Breuer first analyzes Cecilie and she falls in love with him. Breuer meets that little transference with an enthusiastic countertransference-until Mrs. Breuer finds out about it. Freud takes over, solves the dilemma and resolves the case.* This leads him into the marathon of self-probing-mainly into the causes of his antagonism toward his father and his deep love for his mother-that he eventually generalized as the Oedipus complex...

When the final witness wound up his testimony, past midnight, the committee got down to its business, and by a vote of 8 to 7 blackjacked Brown's proposal (amended at the last minute to call for a 3½-year moratorium rather than outright abolition of capital punishment...
