There may be some yet unknown hereditary factor that fosters alcoholism. Dr. Donald Goodwin, a psychiatrist at Washington University in St. Louis, studied the case histories of 133 Scandinavian men who had been separated from their natural parents and raised by foster parents.

They remain outspoken proponents of reducing the birth rate. Their reasoning: by having fewer children and bearing them later in life, parents will have more money to spend on each child...
