I wasn't aware that there was a first reason to argue against
psychoanalysis, but Yoshie seems to take it for granted that there is
one.

Had I been substituting psychoanalysis for history, perhaps Yoshie would
have a second reason to add to the first (whatever that is). But I am
not sure that Carl's subjective reaction to 'jiveass Jefferson' in
itself constitutes "history".

As to "pop", better pop-psychology than pop-Marxism, I say.
