Laborit, Henri
        Reaction organique a L'agression et choc.
      Paris, Masson et cie., 1952.. 205 pages. Original softcover in protective Mylar. Signed and inscribed by Laborit. Very good in green printed wraps, with a crease to the front panel and a small loss to the foot of the spine. First edition of Laborit's third book, with an inscription in his somewhat illegible hand addressed to "Monsieur le professeur." Laborit was a French physician, writer, and philosopher who eventually became a research department head at Boucicault. He was the first to study GHB, and also did pioneering research into dopamine antagonists as treatment for shock and as antipsychotics. Laborit also appeared in Resnais' 'Mon oncle d'amerique,' which draws heavily on his ideas.. Henri Laborit (November 21, 1914 - May 18, 1995) was a French physician, writer and philosopher. Laborit was born in Hanoi, French Indochina and started his career as a neurosurgeon in the Marines and then moved on to fundamental research. He won the prestigious Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research in 1957. Laborit later became a research head at Boucicault Hospital in Paris. His interests included psychotropic drugs, eutonology, and memory. He pioneered the use of dopamine antagonists to reduce shock in injured soldiers. His observation that people treated with these drugs showed reduced interest in their surroundings led to their later use as antipsychotics. He was also the first researcher to study GHB, in the early 1960s. He hoped that it would be an orally bioavailable precursor to the neurotransmitter GABA, but it proved to have other uses and was later discovered as an endogenous neurotransmitter. He appeared in the 1980 Alain Resnais film Mon oncle d'Amerique, which is built around the ideas of Laborit and uses the stories of three people to illustrate theories deriving from evolutionary psychology regarding the relationship of self and society. This movie includes short sequences of rat experiments that are used to illustrate the behaviors of some of the characters in different situations (such as inhibition in the action). The French-born American market researcher Clotaire Rapaille considered Laborit to be an important influence in his work. The 1991 Italian film Mediterraneo begins with a quote from Laborit which, translated, means "In times like these, escape is the only way to stay alive and keep dreaming." (Wikipedia)

TRUMAN, Harry S. (1884 - 1972)
        Presidential Telegram
      Washington: , 1952. Washington, 1952. unbound. Exceedingly rare and important original Presidential Western Union telegram. 2 pages, 5.75 x 8 inches, The White House, Washington D.C., November 20, 1952. Written to the Honorable Owen J. Roberts, President of the Atlantic Union Committee, sending greetings on the occasion of the AUC's second annual Congress and acknowledging the organization's role in making NATO a success. In part: "...Your organization has performed a notable service to this country and to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization by promoting a broader understanding of the need for continued cooperation among the peoples of the Atlantic community. While Americans may sometimes disagree as to the particular methods by which peace and security can be insured, there can be no doubt that an ever increasing public understanding of the problems we face in our relations with other parts of the world is essential to the ultimate attainment of these goals: HARRY S. TRUMAN." Some creasing and browning; very good(-) condition. In 1949, the Association to Unite Democracies spawned the Atlantic Union Committee, with former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts as Chairman, former Under-secretary of State Will Clayton, and former Secretary of War Robert Patterson as Vice-Chairman, in an intensive nationwide campaign for Atlantic integration. This was the climate in which NATO was proposed, the stage already being set by the Marshall Plan of which Clayton was the principle author. In the period from 1949 to 1953, the Atlantic Union Committee (AUC) became the primary organization in America supporting NATO. In 1952, the AUC took the initiative to form an Atlantic Assembly, as an annual "consultative" assembly of Parliamentarians from NATO countries. When President Truman sent this telegram to Owen J. Roberts he was ecstatic. It was Roberts' idea to give countries like Greece and Turkey large expenditures and help them re-build their economies. This tactic prevented Greece and Turkey from turning to Communism and opened the door for them to be formerly accepted as members of NATO at the very function Truman was sending his greetings.

A well preserved collection. * Hulen, a reporter for the New York Times, was the dean of State Department reporters. He was killed in a plane crash in India while returning from an assignment in Indonesia. This collection relates to his posthumous nomination for the 1952 William the Silent Award for Journalism. The Frankfurter letter is an unsigned carbon copy. It is addressed to the head of the Award's executive committee. The justice expresses regret that he will not be able to attend the dinner and implies strongly that the award should go to Hulen. Frankfurter notes his friendship with Hulen and praises his contributions to journalism and democracy. The attached autograph note, signed with a full signature, shows that the copy was given to Mrs. Hulen. The letter from Klein, a member of the committee, accompanied the invitation to the award dinner. In the end the award went to Anne O'Hare McCormick of the New York Times Editorial Board..

Korngold, Erich Wolfgang, Komponist (1897-1957).
        Eigenh. Brief mit U.
      Hollywood, 24. II. 1952.. 2 SS. 4to. Mit eh. adr. Kuvert.. Aufschlußreicher Brief an Otto Emmerich Groh: "Ich danke Ihnen vielmals für Ihren lieben Brief und teile Ihnen mit, dass ich Ihr Lustspiel 'Baron Trenck' mit viel Vergnügen gelesen habe. Aber es hat bei mir musikalisch nicht gezündet und so muss meine Antwort, so leid es mir tut, eine negative sein. Seltsamerweise hatte ich im Jahre 1937 mit einer Maria Theresia-Singspieloper lebhaft kokettiert, aber heute, nach 15 Jahren Amerika - ich will es nicht verschweigen - insbesondere nach der niederträchtigen Behandlung die ich bei meiner besuchsweisen Rückkehr in Wien erfuhr, nach all den Enttäuschungen und Kränkungen in meiner alten Heimat, habe ich offenbar eine Hemmung, mein Herz an einen österreichischen Stoff zu hängen. Momentan - und das gilt auch für Ihr zweites Stück - in diesem jungen Land hier mit seinem ungeheuren Drang nach vorwärts erkaltet Sinn und Gefühl für alles Europäisch - Historische; es wird irgendwie unwirklich, unwichtig und - uninteressant. Vielleicht beeinflussen mich auch die Erfahrungen, die ich mit meiner kleinen musikalischen Komödie 'Die stumme Serenade', die in Neapel im Jahre 1825 spielte, gemacht habe: Die Erfahrungen nämlich, dass hier für 'continentale' Stoffe kein 'Markt' besteht [...]". - Mit blauem Kugelschreiber; auf Briefpapier mit gedr. Briefkopf; Zensurstempel; leicht fleckig.

O'Connor, Flannery
        Wise Blood
      New York: Harcourt Brace and Company, 1952. New York: Harcourt Brace and Company, 1952. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Octavo. 232 pp. First edition stated of the author's first book. Very good condition in yellow boards. Small prior owner name to the inside front pastedown else a clean well bound copy. Light wear to spine tips and with offsetting to rear board.. The price intact dustwrapper is quite bright with vivid red lettering on the spine. The jacket suffers from a 2/3" wide irregular shaped chip at the top edge of the front panel. A good preservationist could improve this matter greatly. Debut novel by one of the most respected of all 20th century Southern writers. A Burgess 99 title (or, as I like to call it, one of the "nifty fifty"). See photos for details.
