The Genius of Genesis: A Psychoanalyst and Rabbi Examines the First Book of the Bible Dennis G. Shulman. New York (NY): iUniverse Inc; 2003. 194 p. US$43.95.
Reviewer rating: Excellent
This scholarly and engaging book is written from a personal perspective. There are 21 pages of notes and 10 pages of references. Shulman's dual vocations of psychoanalyst and rabbi enable him to demonstrate parallels between, and convergences in, Genesis and the psychoanalytic canon. His book leads inexorably to the conclusion that much of what psychoanalysis has discovered in the last 100 years was, to some extent, anticipated by the author(s) of Genesis over 2 millennia ago. Shulman actually …
A brief look at Saturday's Premier League matches (home teams listed first):
Birmingham 1, Reading 1 (1-0)
Reading got just its second away point of the season after Stephen Hunt halted a run of six straight defeats outside of Madejski Stadium with a second-half penalty equalizer.
Mikael Forssell put Birmingham ahead in the seventh minute with a close-range finish after his initial shot had been blocked by defender Nicky Shorey.
Birmingham played its first home match under manager Alex McLeish and stayed in front until the 50th, when Hunt scored after he had been fouled by goalkeeper Maik Taylor following a weak back-pass from defender …

A personal note: I first met Nader at a seminar in 1969 and I was motivated by his groundbreaking work to become one of the first full-time consumer reporters on an American newspaper, The Cleveland Plain Dealer (incidentally, our copy boy was Dennis Kucinich).
When I came to Washington I was a legislative assistant to Rep. Benjamin S. Rosenthal of New York, the House's leading consumer advocate during the 1970s. Our office worked …
NEW YORK - The Chicago White Sox and New York Mets filled up the All-Star rosters, earning six selections each when the teams were announced Sunday.
Often viewed as second-class citizens in their own cities, the World Series champion White Sox and NL East-leading Mets will be well represented on July 11 in Pittsburgh.
The Mets had four starters elected by fans, including third baseman David Wright and shortstop Jose Reyes - each 23 and chosen for the first time. They will be joined in the lineup by catcher Paul Lo Duca and outfielder Carlos Beltran. Starting pitchers Tom Glavine and Pedro Martinez also made it.
"It's going to feel like I'm playing with the New …
