Morning reading. (Well it's morning to me.)

A new Zizek book is in the shops, in London anyway. Its basically a collection of articles, interviews and essays, with an introduction by SZ entitled 'The Inhuman'.

The LRB carries a considered and intelligent piece on the 'War for Oil' argument. Its nub is: "The invasion of Iraq was about Chevron and Texaco, but it was also about Bechtel, Kellogg, Brown and Root, Chase Manhattan, Enron, Global Crossing, BCCI and DynCorp."

Now, I had no idea that Freud collaborated with William C. Bullitt in writing a psychological profile of Woodrow Wilson. After much scepticism from the Psychoanal. community, it seems that he did. Read about it here.
