Egomania was brought into polemical prominence at the end of the 19th century by Max Nordau, one of the first critics who perceived the centrality of the concept of egoism for an understanding of Modernism, with criticism on the ideology of egomania'.Jean- Michel Rabaté, James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism (2001) p. 27 Nordau distinguished egoism from the egomania. He described egoism as a lack of amiability while maintaining the ability to look after oneself, and egomania as a condition where one does not see things as they are, does not understand the world, and cannot take up a right attitude towards it.

But there's a lot of waste here, and Brown's voice can't carry ballads the way it used to".

Cassilanes comes before the Senate with a complaint of ingratitude against his son; and Antinous, resigned to death, refuses to defend himself. But Erota makes a similar complaint of ingratitude against Cassilanes--which provokes Antinous to make the same complaint against her, in a sort of round-robin festival of egomania. The solution to this tangle comes when Annophel enters and makes her own complaint of ingratitude...against the Senate of Candy, for its treatment of her father. The befuddled Senate turns the matter over to the Cypriot prince Philander for judgment.

Marshal Rodin Malinovsky took Zhukov's place as defense minister.

He is best recognised for his work on gambling and game addiction where, for example, he explores how people from different ages are drawn to gambling. For example, he has reported that demo versions and online "skill schools" where players gamble with points rather than money appeal more to teenagers than adults. Furthermore, he has established that factors such as earning points, finding rare game items, and fast loading times are more important for video game players than gender, age, and time spent playing. He has written on egomania, which he defines as an obsessive preoccupation with the self, teratophilia and pandrogyny.

For a long time, Dutch's only true friend was his former partner, Claudette Wyms. The two have a rather complex and symbiotic relationship: Claudette uses her empathic touch to counterbalance Dutch's psychological means of solving violent crimes while Dutch is able to keep Claudette grounded emotionally, so as to prevent her from allowing her personal grudges and vendettas keep her from seeing the big picture towards their jobs as detectives. Though friends, Claudette did share in the criticism of Dutch's ego. Her reaction to this egomania has been a systematic campaign of mean- spirited practical jokes waged against Dutch, including leaving dog manure inside his desk drawer.

The crunch decision of his political career could well be having to choose between IDS and DD in a leadership contest" Buckley concludes that "His first diary is slight, the election being no more interesting in Henley than elsewhere. But the months and years to come, as our man struggles over whether to accept a job as PPS to Bill Cash and frets over the decline of his once great party, should provide sufficient material to write further diaries which are even more amusing, and insightful, than Clark's." In the book Johnson is interviewed by Jeremy Paxman, telling him that "he is motivated 30 per cent by public service, 40 per cent by 'sheer egomania' and 30 per cent disapproval of 'swankpot journalists'. Paxman snorts.

Since Gordon is still perceived as a silent protagonist by the game's non-player characters, virtually every one of them that he interacts with do not react to his inner dialogue. He has a tendency to berate the NPCs for perceived offenses against him, as well as verbally assaulting the intelligence of the soldiers and aliens he meets along the way. Ross Scott describes Gordon's personality as having "shifting paranoia, egomania, mild schizophrenia, over-aggressiveness, petty motivations, and immaturity in general", and that "the only hint I thought they gave to his personality was how proficient he immediately was in weaponry for being a physicist." From the start, Gordon is shown to have a questionable moral compass that impacts his responses to his environment.

Kane refers to the President as "Uncle John" from his wife's perspective, but there was not a president with the given name of John during the time period in which the film is set. We are told that "Uncle John" is "a well-meaning fathead who is letting a gang of high-pressure crooks run his administration", and that there is an "oil scandal" taking place. Their marriage takes place at the White House, and like his support for Teddy Roosevelt is recorded on the shaky moving film of the era. The marriage sours because of Kane's egomania, obsession with his newspapers and attacks on her uncle's administration, to the extent that, barely on speaking terms with him, his wife reads the rival Chronicle newspaper at breakfast in front of him.

In Rolling Stone, David Fricke said Jimi Plays Monterey preserves Hendrix's wild playing and playful humor onstage, writing that the show it documents is "still a revelation, an orgasmic explosion of singing feedback, agitated stretches of jazzy improvisation and recombinant R&B; guitar".Rolling Stone review Robert Christgau called it "peace-and-love-and-egomania at its most far out" in The Village Voice, appreciating its digital mastering and historical value, although he lamented some of the performances themselves: "Jimi speeds alarmingly, Mitch Mitchell keeps tripping over his sticks, and 'Like a Rolling Stone' is patently hokey." In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Richie Unterberger gave the album four-and-a-half out of five stars and felt the band was in "fine, lean, fiery form".[ Allmusic review] Paul Evans gave it three- and-a-half stars in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (1992).
