Fuck Redux

Leo Stone's "On the Principal Obscene Word of the English Language" (1954) embodies a particular moment in the history of psychoanalysis, one that stands in contrast to our current zeitgeist. In a review that is both admiring and critical, Stone's paper is compared with a recent book by an OED editor on the same topic (Sheidlower 2009). The latter totally neglects Stone, and psychoanalysis in general, and speculations are made regarding this neglect.

On The Regrettable Decline of Law French: Or Shapiro Jettet Le Brickbat

Whenever a distinguished scholar prescribes a new scholarly endeavor, we must imagine it as practiced not by him alone but by the academic multitudes and thus in its most vulgarized form. What follows is unashamedly worst-case analysis, but-present precincts excepted of course-the worst case is often enough the real case. It may be particularly unfair to subject Professor Stone's paper to this sort of analysis, in part because his own past work is in such excellent contrast to the tendencies I am about to denounce and in part because he himself sees the dangers and repeatedly warns against them. Against such considerations, however, must be counterbalanced the finding of so many of the participants in this symposium that, no matter what the signals offered by the intellectual leadership, the bulk of legal scholarship continues to focus on routine doctrinal analysis. Perhaps a handful of particularly subtle minds will be able to practice the sensitivity to for which Professor Stone calls without falling into arid self-contemplation, but I am more concerned with the place his paper will take in the overall movement of academic legal writing. Professor Stone's call for as a language may well be the first trumpet call of an essentially reactionary movement in legal scholarship, a retreat into the bowels of law from the various law and movements. Lawyers see the stream of law and sociology, law and politics, law and economics, law and psychology as fragmenting their scholarly core and corps. They do not want to bother mastering one and after another. They may not see great payoffs in the past ands. Here they are wrong, but the payoffs often have not been as great as the pioneering zealots have promised. In some instances, such as law and politics, the internalization of the and has been so great that the legal scholars have almost forgotten that it was an alien force they were absorbing.'

Left-Wing Authoritarianism: Myth or Reality?

Stone (1980) in his paper on The Myth of Left-Wing Authoritarianism attempts to present evidence to the effect that authoritarianism is essentially right-wing, and that although there are some left-wing authoritarians, their number is much smaller than that of right-wing authoritarians. Unfortunately his review of the literature is not as factual or objective as it might be, and his conclusions do not follow from the available data. It may be sufficient to list just a few of the omissions and problems with Stone's paper.

Comment: Systematic Interest-Rate Risk in a Two-Index Model of Returns

Bernell Stone's paper extends the single-factor market model to a two-factor model to “better†explain the stochastic process that generates security returns. The inductive search for new models (of which his paper is one) presumably is predicated upon some unsatisfactory results of joint tests of the single-index market model and the capital asset pricing model. It is well known that there are other components of systematic or covariance risk that are not explained by the single-market factor. In the most general sense then, one would conclude that the truth of the return generating process is a multiple factor model, given that the process is indeed linear in the factors. Professor Stone chooses a two-factor (or index) model, in which the known factors are: (1) the return on an equity index, and (2) the return on a bond index. To this extent his interesting work is a special case of the more general work of others.

The Significance of the Patient in the Training of Analysts: Observations on Harold Stone's Paper

For purposes of comparison the basic requirements of the London Society of Analytical Psychology are listed below: A candidate may apply for training after 350 hours' analysis covering a period of three years. This analysis continues during training. Once training starts the candidate is required to analyse two patients provided by the C. G. Jung Clinic, to which payments are made. The patients are analysed under supervision. The supervisor is not the candidate's analyst. The candidate is required to attend supervision once a week. Seminars are held twice a week for three terms of ten weeks, each year. There has been no obligation to submit or read to the Society either a case report or a theoretical discussion. After two years' training the candidate may apply for membership of the Society and is accepted or rejected by a Professional Committee to whom the analyst, supervisor, and seminar leaders report.

A generalization of Stone’s representation theorem for Boolean algebras

The well-known theorem of M. H. Stone [10] asserts that every Boolean algebra is isomorphic to a field of sets, that is, to a subalgebra of a complete and atomic Boolean algebra. A generalization of Boolean algebras are the Stone lattices. It is my aim to prove a representation theorem for Stone lattices: Every Stone is isomorphic to a sublattice of the of all ideals of a complete and atomic Boolean algebra. . This theorem was conjectured by O. Frink [3] as a solution to Problem 70 of Garrett Birkhoff's book Lattice Theory (revised edition, New York 1948), which asks for a characterization of Stone lattices. The name ilStone lattice was proposed in [5], which contains the first solution to Problem 70. The author's paper [4J contains a further solution, though less deep than the first one. A Stone is a which is distributive and pseudo-complemented, and in which the formula a* V a** = 1 holds identically. Stone lattices and the problem of characterizing them were first discussed in Stone's paper [l1J on Brouwerian logic. My proof involves applications of mathematical logic to algebra like those of Jonsson and Tarski, L. Henkin, and A. Robinson [6J, [8], [9]. First I omit the assumption that the Boolean algebra is complete, and prove an apparently weaker imbedding theorem; then I show that this weaker theorem is actually equivalent to the original one. This idea is due to Jonsson and Tarski. Next I show that a particular class of Stone lattices forms an arithmetic class in the sense of Tarski. Then by applying a consequence of Godel's theorem concerning the completeness of the first order functional calculus (see Henkin [6] and Hintikka [7]), we conclude that it is sufficient to consider finitely generated Stone lattices, which are finite. A direct decomposition theorem further simplifies the problem; the resulting class of Stone lattices is so simple that a representation is obtained without difficulty.

Experiments on Circular Cones at Yaw in Supersonic Flow

T PROBLEM of supersonic flow past circular cones a t yaw has received considerable at tent ion from theoretical research workers in recent years. Several methods of solution have been proposed, 5 and those based on Stone's paper have been used as the basis for very extensive tables of data. I t is, therefore, ra ther surprising t ha t experimental information on this problem is comparatively scanty, and tha t no set of observed results comparable to the tables calculated by Kopal a t Massachusetts Ins t i tu te of Technology is available. In the present paper an account is given of measurements of pressure on two circular cones of semiapex angles 15° and 20° over a range of angles of yaw between 0° and 25°. T h e measurements are made a t one Mach Number in the Supersonic Wind Tunnel at tached to the Applied Mathematics and Mechanics Division a t For t Halstead. Existing results appear to refer to cones much thinner than these and are given a t somewhat arbi trary angles of yaw. The present results should, therefore, be of value in showing pressure distributions on cones producing shocks of considerable strength which, when yawed, display marked variations in entropy in the flow behind them. Further , the variation of pressure distribution with angle of yaw has been shown in a systematic manner, and the da ta given are probably more complete than those published previously. The results are of value in themselves, bu t they are also suitable as a s tandard against which the more firmly established theoretical methods can be tested Accordingly, the pressure distributions a t Mach Num-

The Art of Communicating Washington to the Field

Experience on both the giving and the receiving ends of one Washington-field relationship has led me to conclude that one of the most important parts of the general art of public administration is the art of communication. This art is cited in Donald Stone's paper on Washington-field relationships;1 if anything, Mr. Stone has underemphasized its importance. Irritations and frictions between the makers and appliers of policy arise more frequently from lack of understanding as to motives, purposes, and reasons-the why of action-than from almost any other source. There are many elements in the development and maintenance of sound Washington-field relationships. Basic to effective functioning in this whole administrative area is a full and proper understanding regarding division of authority. In those federal agencies which carry their programs

The Relation of Field Characters to the Question of Species and Subspecies

IN A recent number of 'The Auk,' Dr. Stone' has ably discussed the subspecies question, bringing the various ideas that have been expressed on the subject up to date. For some years I had been entertaining a number of ideas concerning the relationships of species and subspecies. Dr. Stone's paper served to clarify these ideas, and I am presenting them here. It has been generally considered that the museum ornithologist with large series of skins to study, is the final authority on all questions as to what are species and subspecies. The field ornithologist, that is, the student of living birds in their natural environments, is not supposed to have anything to say about it. But the facts are that the moment a bird is dead it has lost a large number of the characters of the species to which it belongs. Its characteristic habits and actions, its call-notes, alarm-notes, songs, the habitat it selects in which to breed, the type of nest its instinct prompts it to build, and the kind of place in which its nest is located are all just as much characters of the species as are the coloration of its feathers and the length of its wing or tarsus. When two species in the same genus differ only slightly in coloration, but widely in these field characters, the degree of difference seems, to the field man, much greater than it does to the museum man. Conversely, when species do not differ in these field characters, even though their plumages are quite distinct, there is reason to think that the degree of difference is really less than the museum man is likely to make it. Many years ago Coues,2 discussing the Eastern and Western Wood Pewees, wrote, We may have to acknowledge, in some cases, that species are better determined in the field than in the closet. If this be true in any case, it holds with the little flycatchers. I should hesitate to identify the Least and Alder Flycatchers in the field by sight alone. I should have greater certainty in separating two such subspecies as the Prairie and Northern Horned Larks. This agrees with Dr. Stone's statement that subspecies . . . are as easy to identify in the field as are many species (p. 37). But if, in either case, the bird in question produced some sound, the Flycatcher would be immediately identified beyond question, but the Larks could not be separated by that means. If we find these two Flycatchers nesting on their breeding grounds, the
