Packers' salaries are among the highest in the league: raw rookies get $8.000; half a dozen players are in the $20.000 bracket. And there is plenty of frosting on the cake. Last year's championship playoff was worth $5,500 to each man on the Packer squad; this year the winner's share will probably hit $7,000.

Pica, the investigators found, occurs in more than half the children aged four to six in the most deprived, lowest-income bracket. More surprisingly, it occurs in almost one-third of children in middle-and upper-income homes. It does not result from lack of food, or of any particular kind of food. It is, says Psychiatrist Lourie, a signal from the child that there is something wrong with his mothering; either he is not getting enough of it or is getting the wrong kind...
