...also glad to see the Journal is providing more coverage of the arts, as the paper maintains a decent stable of experts and critics. That said, the arts coverage is the one thing that's still tough to locate.

"Before moving forward wholesale, we need to study it carefully," says Dr. Jeffrey Brosco, an associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Miami, who wrote a dissent in the journal where the case was published. "Right now it is truly an experimental treatment." But he is sure there will be more interest: just last week a family he treats had to put their 19-year-old son into a group home, because he had become too big and aggressive for them...
