Aptheker at Duke Revels in Dull Proseminar Address
U S Communist Party theorist Heersert Aptheker spoke at Duke University for an hour to about 600 listeners. The talk was drawn by questions after, yet many attendees grew drowsy as Aptheker parroted party lines on Hungary, the Red Army, and Slovakia. He refused to answer a student query on free elections, calling it irrelevant and shifting to Viet Nam. The exchange exposed the limits of debate under a one party framework.

Psychiatrists debate creativity versus neurosis in artists
A report from the Fourth Annual Scientific Conference on Psychoanalysis in New York argues that creative individuals like Shakespeare and Reynolds are not inherently mentally ill. Dr. Lawrence J. Hatterer of Cornell Medical College contends neurosis is not the common cause of high artistic achievement. He cites T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, and Anthony Trollope as examples of normal, productive geniuses, while noting many analysts enter the field to treat personal disturbances. The piece questions whether psychiatrists project their own neuroses onto creators and stresses that creative work can stem from love of writing and financial gain rather than inner turmoil.
