Feingold, an administrator for 30 years at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in San Francisco, said that half of the country's estimated 3 million hyperactive children could be helped by his additive-free "Feingold diet...
Ozick is more successful when she builds on realism. Lucy of the title story is a convert to Judaism who marries Feingold, a Manhattan editor obsessed with the persecution of medieval Jews.
