...break seemed to come in 1978, when Actors' Equity named him best male newcomer of the season for his powerful performance as a disillusioned wino in the short-lived Broadway drama The Mighty Gents. Freeman was 40, and he thought he had finally made it. Instead, a two-year drought followed. He was considering chucking the business and driving a cab, when offers began to dribble in. Then, along came the role of Fast Black, the mercurial pimp, in the movie Street Smart...
This engaging book is not really about Freud's Vienna, however, so much as Bettelheim's Vienna. The two men shared the same city for more than a third of a century. Freud had recently published his first major work, The Interpretation of Dreams, when Bettelheim was born in 1903. He became interested in psychoanalysis because another schoolboy was impressing Bettelheim's girlfriend with prattle about the new theories of Dr. Freud.

The U.S. insists it is after only drug profits, not the take from prostitution, gambling and other rackets that Noriega controlled. Should the dictator be forced into exile, he would have to leave his $600,000 Panama City mansion -- "hung with nearly 50 valuable oil paintings," according to the U.S. State Department -- his chalet in Rio Hato and his 60-acre retreat in Chiriqui province. But he might be able to enjoy some other holdings: luxury apartments in Paris...
Similar scenes occurred in such towns as David, Chame, Anton and Rio Hato, and should help the U.S. defend the invasion before world public opinion as something better than imperialistic bullying. One indication: Peru, which suspended joint antidrug actions with the U.S. two weeks ago as a sign of outrage at the invasion, quietly resumed them last week. However, the U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution that called the Panamanian invasion a "flagrant violation of international...
