Edward Bernays and Group Psychology: Manipulating the Masses

Years ago, your present-day MesaZona blogger had one of the best experiences of his life for more than an hour to meet-and-talk with Edward Bernays and his wife who lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts at that time. As a post-graduate real-life experience for a guy with a degree in Psychology from Georgetown University it more than made-my-day!
The occasion was to return a missing wedding gift that somehow turned-up at what was then Sotheby Parke Bernet, the highly-respected New York City auction house. To make a long story short, a friend of mine and I were engaged to make the return of the missing object: Sigmund Freud had given his nephew his own self-portrait of himself to his nephew, Edward Bernays, as a gift for the marriage of Bernays and his wife . . .that's some Ego, huh?
