Richard Pollak, 91, Dies; Edited Magazine That Criticized the Media
He was a founder of More, which skewered the foibles of the press in the 1970s, and later wrote a critical biography of the psychoanalyst Bruno Bettelheim.
More was the brainchild of J. Anthony Lukas, who met Mr. Pollak when they were both young reporters at The Baltimore Sun. Mr. Lukas, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1968, had become a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine by the time he recruited Mr. Pollak to run the start-up publication in late 1970.
“What this town needs is a good journalism review, and you’re just the man to edit it,” Mr. Lukas told Mr. Pollak, Ms. Walsh said in an interview.

理查德·波拉克（Richard Pollak）逝世，享年91歲；他曾編輯批評媒體的雜誌
他是《More》雜誌的創始人之一，該雜誌在1970年代以辛辣的筆觸揭露了媒體的種種弊端。之後，他也撰寫了精神分析學家布魯諾·貝特爾海姆（Bruno Bettelheim）的傳記，並對其進行了批判性的解讀。
《More》雜誌的創辦人是J·安東尼·盧卡斯（J. Anthony Lukas）。盧卡斯與波拉克相識於《巴爾的摩太陽報》，當時兩人都是年輕的記者。盧卡斯曾於1968年榮獲普立茲獎，在1970年末，他招募波拉克負責這份新創刊物的營運時，他已成為《紐約時報雜誌》的專職撰稿人。
「這座城市需要一份優秀的評論雜誌，而你正是擔任編輯的最佳人選，」沃爾什女士在一次採訪中說道。
布魯諾貝特爾海姆的《童話的用途》於1976年的今天首次出版。該書榮獲美國國家圖書獎和美國國家書評人協會獎。
“孩子憑直覺就能理解，雖然這些故事是虛構的，但它們並非不真實。”
——摘自《童話的用途：童話的意義與重要性》（1976）
布魯諾·貝特爾海姆是二十世紀最偉大的兒童心理學家之一，或許他所有著作中最具影響力的莫過於這本關於童話及其在理解兒童發展中普遍重要性的開創性研究。貝特爾海姆分析了從辛巴達的故事到《三隻小豬》、《漢塞爾與格蕾特》和《睡美人》等一系列傳統故事，揭示了這些經典童話中奇幻、有時殘酷但始終意義深遠的敘事線索如何幫助我們完成人類最重要的任務——尋找人生的意義。點此閱讀節錄：
Bruno Bettleheim's THE USES OF ENCHANTMENT was first published on this day in 1976. The book won the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award.
“The child intuitively comprehends that although these stories are unreal, they are not untrue.”
―from THE USES OF ENCHANTMENT: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales (1976)
Bruno Bettelheim was one of the great child psychologists of the twentieth century and perhaps none of his books has been more influential than this revelatory study of fairy tales and their universal importance in understanding childhood development. Analyzing a wide range of traditional stories, from the tales of Sindbad to “The Three Little Pigs,” “Hansel and Gretel,” and “The Sleeping Beauty,” Bettelheim shows how the fantastical, sometimes cruel, but always deeply significant narrative strands of the classic fairy tales can aid in our greatest human task, that of finding meaning for one’s life.
