Lack of understanding about trends in crime rates may be even more harmful. I think I am right that when we seek to interpret health trends we look separately at the figures on tuberculosis, lung cancer, and measles.

If all trappings of civilization were put aside, he believes, all repressions would go with them. Man could then attain a golden...
