Another fact I can't use

Writing about 1936, I'm looking for a bonus in "The Thirties, Day by Day" and so since this is really going to work itself into one question, I present it here without elaboration:
Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll's famous fantasy, is bad for children, according to psychiatrist Dr. Paul Schilder of New York University.  The tale, he professes, is one of subtly hidden "oral sadistic trends of cannibalism."
I must have missed those.  Or maybe one day I'll be ripping apart other humans with my mouth.
