...show that only children are, on average, perfectly O.K., normal, not lonely and unsocialized, and even likely to do better in school, presumably because of more adult attention. He cites research, some of it a bit woozy-sounding, asserting that "only children show more interest in science, music, math and literature, while kids with siblings care more for...mechanical and technical work, skilled trades, and labor."

And yet those potential objects of national pride seem lilliputian in the face of constantly rising prices, falling incomes, lack of opportunities and the plethora of other problems. It is a pity that only a small fraction of the bright kids who leave the country ever come back, apparently finding immigrant life...
