Significant Moments: Any Lengths To Catch Him Out

Talent and Genius, published in 1971, is itself a work of extreme eccentricity. It was written in response to another book, published two years earlier, entitled Brother Animal: The Story of Freud and Tausk, by Paul Roazen, which implicated Freud in the suicide, at the age of forty, of one of his early disciples, Victor Tausk. Roazen's book is trivial and slight. Its scholarship, like that of many other works of pop history, does not hold up under any sort of close scrutiny. But, unlike most pop historians, whose sins against the spirit of fact go undetected because nobody takes the trouble to check up on them, Roazen had the misfortune to attract the notice of someone who was willing to go to any lengths to catch him out. In Talent and Genius, Eissler administers one of the most severe trouncings of one scholar by another in the annals of scholarly quarreling. Like Superman rushing to the aid of a victim of injustice, Eissler hastened to defend Freud against what he believed "may properly be called the most brutal attack ever directed at him"—Roazen's insinuation that Freud was to blame for Tausk's death because, motivated by sexual and professional jealousy, he turned away from him at a crucial moment.

Did Dennis M. Race, Esq., Commit the Crime of Jury Tampering?

Did Laurence J. Hoffman, Esq. and Dennis M. Race, Esq. of the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld (Akin Gump) commit the crime of jury tampering by filing a sworn statement, on May 22, 1992, with the D.C. Department of Human Rights alleging that they had determined, in consultation with a practicing psychiatrist (Gertrude R. Ticho, M.D.), that I suffered from a psychiatric disorder that rendered me unfit for employment (and had the effect of barring me from jury service)? See Freedman v. D.C. Dept. Human Rights, D.C.C.A. 96-CV-961 (Sept. 1, 1998).

Did Mark Justin Draycott, Esq. and William J. Earl, Esq. of the Office of D.C. Corporation Counsel commit the crime of jury tampering by wilfully and deliberately misleading the D.C. Court of Appeals with legally-irrelvant "after-acquired" evidence (proferred in the District's Brief on Appeal) that purported to show that the psychiatric disorder that Gertrude R. Ticho, M.D. diagnosed in consultation with Dennis. M. Race, Esq. of Akin Gump was even more severe than Akin Gump or Dr. Ticho knew? Appellee's Brief on Appeal, Freedman v. D.C. Dept. Human Rights, D.C.C.A. 96-CV-961 (Sept. 1, 1998).
