Review: A page linked to here on Jan. 25—
psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut on the "nuclear self"—
The Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing (PEP) website has a
paper on Kohut's concept— "Nuclear Conflict and the Nuclear Self"—
to which access is restricted:
Perhaps the late Aaron Swartz (below) now has freer access
to this and other restricted reading.

Today's New York Times story on Jacobin magazine
suggests the following sequel to a Jan. 10 post on
Spielberg's Lincoln .
The magazine has, the Times says,
"earned [its creator] Mr. Sunkara, now a ripe 23,
extravagant praise from members of a (slightly) older
guard who see his success as heartening sign that
the socialist 'brand'— to use a word he throws around
with un-self-conscious ease— hasn’t been totally
killed off by Tea Party invective." —Jennifer Schuessler
Jacobin magazine, summer 2012 double issue—
A related trinity of the Left:
Playwright Tom Stoppard, his son actor Ed Stoppard

A tweet from Aaron Swartz on Dec. 9, 2012:
See as well three posts from this journal on that same date.
The late Aaron Swartz on a 1978 psychological study—
"But the puzzles kept coming—

"…Heaven and Hell relays. your team starts in hell,
when you get one right, one person can go to heaven
and work on heaven questions, but first they have to
pass through purgatory. aka this means entertain
the people running purgatory."
— Imaginary Thoughts and Irrational Ideas weblog
See also Swartz on philosophy:

business books, philosophy, self-help, math, and
my friends. But since there’s no community around it,
it’s hard to discuss it with anyone…."
From the date of these weblog posts by Swartz,
a post from this journal—
See yesterday's post "There Will Be Aaron"
(about a death in Crown Heights, Brooklyn)
and earlier posts now tagged "Sorkin."

I learned this afternoon of a significant death:
See a NY Times obit and "RIP, Aaron Swartz."
The latter quotes Swartz himself:
"Obviously shades of Sinclair here…"
