Failing that, many dentists paint stronger fluoride solutions on children's teeth once or twice a year. Adults, with their fully developed teeth, have seemed beyond fluorides' help-destined to suffer the traditional "find the cavity, then drill and fill...
...unemployment, disease, crime, drug addiction, poor education, family disintegration-and slums.

In some revealing experiments with decaying animal carcasses, he reports in Ecology, he clearly demonstrated that insects take the major role in the decomposition of carrion. He also suggests that study of the insects themselves will...
