...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...

Hence when the two Marys arrange broken pieces of a plate in an effort to restore the banquet, they do not recognize their failure to return the system to its continuous state; that's the why they see the world itself--in pieces. Therefore they can have no world...

...Adult fish, for example, are able to tolerate relatively high levels of DDT. The fish embryo, on the other hand, dies almost immediately when it begins to absorb the pesticide through the fatty yolk sac.

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...
