Within biology itself, the key to the mystery is the force that lifted pre-human social behavior to the human level.”
3) Please read the 2 articles on parenting.

XIV. Rieff on Lanzmann***s Patagonian Hare by N. Szajnberg, MD Managing Editor
David Rieff***s review of The Patagonian Hare, ***A Vast Choir of Voices: On Claude Lanzmann,*** from the July 2-9, 2012 edition of The Nation.
In an earlier post, Arnie Richards and I reviewed Claude Lanzmann***s memoir, this writer who also produced the nine-hour Shoah, a landmark film for the twentieth century. Click here to read said post, ***This Justifies a Life: Lanzmann***s Memoir and Yom HaShoah by Nathan Szajnberg.***
David Rieff reviews this book in the Nation. His review reads like the recipe for how one need prepare venison: first you have to eviscerate it, then you can enjoy the steak. He begins by gutting Lanzmann: ***Even the most passionate of lifelong romances tend to cool with time. But*** Lanzmann***s *** self-involvement seems only to have risen with the passing decades.*** Rieff identifies a style of French writing (not found among French scientists; more so amongst essayists and such) as a ***confederacy of braggarts.*** Not to be found in the gaggle of penman traits such as irony, self-effacement or stoicism. Witness Sartre. Or Beauvoir, his (Sartre***s and Lanzmann***s) lover.

F. In the MOVIES Category:
XXX. John Huston***s Let There Be Light
on the National Film Preservation Foundation website.
This film is legendary for its censorship controversy that its sheer power as a film has been easy to miss. Produced by the U.S. Army in 1945, it pioneered unscripted interview techniques to take an unprecedented look into the psychological wounds of war. However, by the time the film was first allowed a public screening***in December 1980***its remarkable innovations in style and subject, which in the 1940s were at least a decade ahead of their time, could be taken as old hat, especially because of the poor quality of then-available prints. This new restoration finally reveals the film***s full force.

XXXI. Review of Moonrise Kingdom by Selma Duckler
Moonrise Kingdom is a lovely movie, a coming of age film that describes a 12 year old boys fantasy of life as he experiences it.
There have been times, with much exasperation, I have felt the only group that listens to children with respect, and takes them seriously are psychoanalysts

XXXVIII. Slum Children in Brazil: How they feel about Parents Tuesday, June 26th, 2012
Click here to read ***Playing with Brazilian Street Children: a pilot study using narrative story stem*** by Dr. M. Leticia Castrechini F. Franieck; Prof. Dr. Michael G**nter University of T**bingen-Germany.
Dr. Franieck has been studying three groups of Brazilian slum children: homeless street kids; those in shanties and those living away from their abusive families. In a poignant study, she shows how these children remain emotionally connected (for better and worse) to their parents. She uses the MacArthur story-telling technique. Bear with the methodology, as what she has to teach us about
disenfranchised children is valuable.
(This was presented at the 2012 World Association of Infant Mental Health meeting in South Africa.)
