I just read today in the Washington Post that the Freud exhibition
     that was postponed due to "funding problems" as been scheduled to
     tentatively open in Autumn of 1998.

     There seems to still be opposition to the exhibition from the scholars
     that petitioned the Library last Summer. Of the 50 scholars that
     opposed the exhibition (which they thought looked at Freud through
     "rose colored glasses), one has been asked to be an advisor, Oliver
     Sacks (who happens to be a wonderful writer and briliant thinker,
     IMO).

     The exhibition will draw from the LC's extensive collection of papers,
     etc. from Freud. According to the Library/Post... "It will explore the
     spread of Freud's influence and of psychoanalytic thinking throughout
     20th Century Culture and how and why this legacy is contested"

     This brings us back to our earlier discussions about "who we do our
     work for." There seems to be opposition of the content by scholars in
     the field, but it would be a pity not to have some sort of display of
     his papers for the VISITOR to see.  I would hope that this would not
     be another Enola Gay exhibition where the papers are displayed, with
     little or no explanation.  Instead, I hope that they can find a
     balance between traditional opinions and contemporary opinions of
     Freud and his work.

     I am sure that we will hear MUCH more about this.
