She prides herself on having brought up her six children with toe-the-line discipline. "If all parents today were as strict as I was, we wouldn't have so many brats and little vandals," she says.

But last week the lid was off. For the second time in five years, university students organized a contest and 17 barrel organs were lined up in a big, open square in the heart of the city...
...Mechanisms. When it comes to strict Freudian psychiatry, Psychologist VanderVeldt and Psychiatrist Odenwald have their reservations. Their target is not Freud's medical techniques, but "the phillosophy that has gradually been tacked on" them. "Freud's most fundamental mistake was to view a person as a machine, a set of mechanisms, and to consider the psychoanalyst as a technician or mechanic who is supposed to mend these mechanisms when they function badly...
