...head with a brick. At 10, one of his brothers hit him so hard on the head with a baseball bat that the bat broke. Another time, his mother smashed a dinner plate on his head. None of these injuries was ever treated. His IQ has been measured at 74, which is considered semiretarded. None of this information was presented at Carter's original trial for the robbery and murder of a gas-station clerk. The jury found him guilty in 10 minutes. His case is now before the Supreme Court...
...with all extreme cultural tendencies, something had to snap, and what began to show up in the mid-1990s was an insistent desire to feel passion again and show us you care.

Your report on "awareness" survivors has put everything into place. What a benign term for such a traumatic experience! KATHIE MARSHALL Encino, Calif...
...very important that children learn good manners at an early age [EDUCATION, Sept. 29]. Some people think it is a waste of schooltime to teach children to be polite, but politeness is more important than your IQ. It is better to be a B-average student with great manners than an A+ student who is a big wise guy. If all second-graders learned politeness and kindness just as they learn math and science, America would be a much more civilized society in 25 years. CHRISTINE DEVLIN, age 11 Brookline, Mass...
