ABSTRACT

Max Weber, Sr.'s, death or burial except to say that his earthly remains were last viewed by his family "on a brilliant August day" and that that day followed by seven weeks an argu­ ment between son and father. Although she discusses for three pages the character of this argument, and makes it quite clear that she believes her husband's breakdown to be related to the sequence of argument and death, she gives no clear indication of when the altercation occurred either, apart from the seven-week interval separating it from Weber Sr.'s death, a curiously precise statistic for someone as con­ stitutionally vague on factual matters as Marianne Weber.
