Even among npn-prpfiti organizations there
is nothing to compare with the immunity of
the «:ess for abuses of power except the
churches. A 'church’s behavior can at least
be predicted from its settled doctrines, and
by its very nature its members are account
able to God. The sovereign press for the most
part acknowledges accountability to no one
except its owners and publishers.
“And so Yve appealed! to the leaders of the
press itself to recognize the gravity of the
situation and, “assume the responsibility of
sijbiliivjs not always met, providing ithe, variety v quantity ahd quality
of information and discussion which the
country needs, i J They must . . . themselves
be hospitable to ideas and attitudes differ
ed fr >rr> their ^wn, and they must present
them to the public as meriting its attention.”
“Some leaders of the industries reacted
gratifyingly to this appeal, but most re
mained apathetic.
“Is our press! responsible? Yes, to some
extent, but it should be more so. Is our
press free? Ye& in our sense of freedom, but
the different sense of “accessible to all sig

more.

Dr. Berne has chosen to answer
in this book the questions most fre
quently asked! by the groups which
he has addressed, and he as aptly
subtitled the book “A Layman’s
Guide to Psychiatry.” Two of the
most important features of the
book are found in the appendices;
his chapter on Intuition and on
Politics.
Some of the questions discussed
are: Can people be judged by their
appearance? What is the brain
for? Why do human beings con
trol themselves? What is the un-
couscious ? Why do people dream ?
Haw can emotions cause physical
The-riccitement of a world-wide
treasure hunt, of tracking down a
27,000-year-old mystery, fills this
vastly entertaining and challeng
ing book. Harold Gladwin, one of
this Oountry’s foremost anthropol
ogists, presents in [MEN OUT OF
ASIA q revolutionary picture of
the origins of early American civ
ilization.
It is a picture which prompted
Dr. Hopton of Harvard to remark,

pologists have believed that the
American Indian miraculously in
vented all of the things which con
stitute the high cultures of the
New World —metallurgy, pottery,
calendar systems, astronomical
reackoning, weaving, etc. If this
were really true, Mr. Gladwin
points out, the American Indian ac-
same things which required sever
al thousand yeaife of ceaseless
striving by the rest of mankind.
In MEN OUT OF ASIA, the au
thor resoundingly explodes the
dogma that there was no diffusion
of inventions or ideas from the Old
World to the New. He actually con
nects the origins of American civ
ilizations with definite causes, at
definite dates, in the progress of
Old World history. He suggests,
further, that the Indian is not a
distinct racial type but the' result
of five separate migrations which
began about 25,000 B. C. Here then
is a book for all Whose minds are
open and unafraid, and who relish
stimulating discussion of one of
the most controversial topics in the
field of anthropology.
