PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES: Andrew Rolle of the Huntington Library and Occidental College gave a November 2nd lecture on Freud’s Rat Man Case.

CORRECTIONS: We wish to apologize to Cushing Strout of Cornell University for inadvertently changing his meaning in changing a comma to a semi-colon in his review of Linda Simon’s book on William James in the September issue. Also, Strout is the author, rather than the editor, of The Veracious Imagination.
CONDOLENCES: To Eva Fogelman and family on the untimely death of her father, Simca Fogelman.

The Psychohistory Forum is pleased to announce
The Young Psychohistorian 1998/99 Membership Awards
John Fanton recently received his medical degree and is doing his five year residency in Providence, Rhode Island. Currently, he is at the Children’s Hospital, Women and Infants Hospital, and the Butler Psychiatric Hospital. His goal is to become a child maltreatment expert working in the area of Preventive Psychiatry. At the IPA in 1997 he won the Lorenz Award for his paper on improving parenting in Colorado.
Albert Schmidt is a doctoral candidate in modern European history at Brandeis University who plans to defend his dissertation in April when his advisor, Rudolph Binion, will return from Europe for the occasion. Rather than do a biography of SS General Reinhard Heydrich as originally intended, he is writing on the German protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia under Heydrich’s dominance. In the last four years this talented young scholar has been awarded nine fellowships, grants, or scholarships.
