NOTES ON MEMBERS: Peter Loewenberg will assume the Sir Peter Ustinov Chair on Prejudice in Vienna this June, entailing extensive lecturing and seminar leadership in German. David James Fisher recently published, ”In Memoriam: Rudolf Ekstein (1912-2005),” American Imago, Vol. 62 (2) 2005, pp. 225-233 and “The Correspondence of Bruno Bettelheim and Rudolf Ekstein. l. Introduction. 2. The Correspondence,” Psychoanalysis and History, Vol. 8 (1) 2006, pp. 65-124. Flora Hogman gave the talk, “The Double Edged Sword of Memory: Issues and Conflicts Faced by Survivors Remembering Their Holocaust Experiences,” last December at the La Mama Theater in Manhattan. Paul H. Elovitz on February 14 gave the talk, “Darwin: The Man” to the Ramapo College History Club.

WELCOME: To new members Marvin Leibowitz and Stanley Teitelbaum, New Jersey psychologist/psychoanalysts.

CORRECTIONS: In the December 2005 issue in the article, “Remembering Paul Roazen,” Eduardo Weisman should read Eduardo Weiss (p. 137) and in “Paul Roazen: In Memoriam,” Tausk’s analyst and Freud’s analysand was Helene Deutsch rather than Lou Salome as printed (p. 166). Also, the shorter version, “Mariano Grondona on the Psychobiography of Argentine Politicians,” of Ted Goertzel’s article, “The Psychobiography of Argentine Politicians,” was published due to a combination of computer and human error. We recommend that you read the longer version, which contains much more biographical and childhood materials, under “Sample Articles” on our website cliospsyche.org or at http://crab.rutgers.edu/~goertzel/GrondonaArgentinePols.doc. Apologies to Peter Petschauer for omitting his name from the thank you notes for patrons in the last two issues.
