Vance Packard's opinion?
I don't disagree with Vance Packard's opinion, but why is it in this article, or at least in the opening paragraph entry? Probablynoteworthy (talk) 04:34, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * User:Probablynoteworthy I agree. Dichter's contribution was important to the field and this should be allowed to shine. Following a major restructure of this article, I have down played the criticisms levelled by Vance Packard. I have expanded the sections devoted to Dichter's early life and career. However, I have retained some of the material about Packard's criticisms, but tried to include them in a broader context. BronHiggs (talk) 03:51, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Nazis in Paris?
The article suggests France was under Nazi rule by 1938 - surely that's a bit early?

"He and his wife fled to Paris, but soon realised that France, which was by then under Nazi rule, was also a dangerous place for a Jewish family. The couple left Europe permanently, arriving in New York in 1938"

Should that be:

"He and his wife fled to Paris, but realised that France, which was SOON TO BE under Nazi rule, was also a dangerous place for a Jewish family. The couple left Europe permanently, arriving in New York in 1938"
