...other problem children. Carl Fenichel of Brooklyn's League School for Seriously Disturbed Children told the National Society meeting that he has had some success by firmly distracting autistic children from their tantrums and insisting they practice simple mechanical tasks such as holding a pencil or using an egg beater. "Disorganized children need someone to organize their world for them," he says. "They fear their own loss of control and seek protection against their own impulsive drives; they need teachers who know how to limit as well as accept them...
...some young people turn to marijuana and other psychedelics because they are already inclined to be idle, dreamy drifters? Or do they get that way because of their drug experiences? Philip sidestepped that chicken-and-egg controversy.

In birds, DDT kills off the young by interfering with the female's egg-laying process. Though the exact chemistry is still obscure, the pesticide apparently sends the mother bird's liver into a frenzy of enzyme production. The excess enzymes break down such steroids as estrogen that are essential to the manufacture of calcium. Lacking adequate calcium, the bird's eggs...
