...advanced, and some critics predict that classical psychoanalysis will soon be extinct. The 1976 survey by the American Psychoanalytic Association showed that 70% of its members' patients were already receiving some kind of therapy other than psychoanalysis. Since there is no agreement on what works, Freudians?along with neo-Freudians, psychologists, counselors and Pop therapists?are all increasingly eclectic, borrowing bits and pieces of one another's methods. Even at hospitals still dominated by Freudian theory, psychiatric residents now get far more training in neurology, biochemistry, hypnosis and behavior modification than in such traditional gospel as the interpretation of dreams...
...estimated 14 million West Germans, plus 3 million people in areas of East Germany tuned in last week for Holocaust, the American-made fictional account of Hitler's extermination of 6 million Jews. As nine regional television networks prepared to air the four-part docu-drama neo-Nazis torched an old synagogue in Essen and bombers demolished a television transmission tower near Koblenz and a telephone relay station near Münster.

Or they see him as Evil Incarnate...
...same idea is echoed forcefully by Bayard Rustin, the civil rights veteran, who condemns the "self-righteous, elitist neo-Malthusians who call for slow growth or no growth. The policies of these elitists would condemn the black underclass, the slum proletariat and rural blacks, to permanent poverty." Rustin contends that the curtailment of construction projects, factory expansions and farm ventures for environmental reasons already has cost many potential jobs for blacks. The only way that unemployed blacks can join the work force in a significant way, he argues, is for the economy to grow vigorously...
