“Freud & Jung posing for a photo during an ill-fated arctic expedition ca. 1912. One man and three dogs met their deaths during this endeavor. This traumatic episode put a great deal of strain on the two mens’ relationship.” (Source) I must say, when I first came across the photos at this website, it was…

When I awoke two years ago in Fairbanks, Alaska and heard that John McCain had chosen Sarah Palin as a Vice-Presidential candidate, I felt I had woken up in a never-ending dream, an improbable parallel reality. (We Alaskans knew she had to be better than the previous governor, Frank Murkowski, but that was a very…
