Mrs. Art Werth complains of Catherine May's supposed fiscal inconsistencies in her letter discussing the Hanford NPR reactor and government spending. She claims it is difficult to teach her children how to save money, when their role models are, ".vastly unconcerned about the debts our children and theirs will inherit." May responds with a restatement of her reasons for supporting the Hanford project, and states that such a multi-purpose endeavor has numerous long-term economic advantages.

In seinem Werther-Aufsatz von 1936 hat Lukács ein bis heute häufig wiederholtes Interpretationsmuster skizziert: Werther als »Repräsentant einer >progressiven Bourgeoisierevolutionären Periode< ihrer frühen ideologischen und ökonomischen Entwicklung«. Das Werk wird von der DDR-Germanistik einem umfassenden Geschichtsprozeß eingeordnet, der Aufklärung, Sturm und Drang und Klassik umfaßt, und bei dem es »um den Aufstieg bürgerlichen Selbstbewußtseins, das Wachstum gesellschaftlicher Einsichten und die Eroberung immer neuer poetischer Provinzen« geht. Reuter betrachtet den Roman in diesem Sinn als »Brennspiegel des gesamten sozialen und politischen Zustandes in Deutschland« des späten 18.Jahrhunderts, wobei Werther im Streben nach allseitiger Entfaltung der menschlichen Persönlichkeit ein »fortgeschrittenes bürgerliches Selbstbewußtsein« vertritt.

Abstract: Background: Reporting on suicide can elicit an increase in suicides, a phenomenon termed the "Werther effect." The name can be traced back to an alleged spike in suicides after the publication of Goethe's novel The Sorrows of Young Werther in 1774, in which the protagonist Werther dies by suicide. Aims: Acknowledging the importance and primacy of systematic ecological and individual-level studies, we provide a historical single-case report of the suicide of a "late arrival of the Werther epidemic," as the death was headlined in a news report in 1927. Method: Archival research on tenor Paul Vidal's suicide was conducted. Results: Vidal reconstructed the scene of the final act of the opera Werther in his apartment and died by a gunshot, as did Werther. Limitations: Causal interpretations must be made with caution. Conclusion: Striking similarities between Werther's and Vidal's deaths support the idea of strong identification with the fictional narrative and suggest causal effects. Considering the repeated high level of immersiveness and the intense emotions of opera performances, it is likely that performing the role of Werther increases identification processes, contributing to detrimental effects. The lack of knowledge regarding the role of fictional suicide stories on artists' suicides is discussed.
