One woman in Alabama recently took up hunting and says it saved her marriage; she finally had something she and her husband enjoyed...
...between endearing quirks and attention-deficit disorders. Last week's big conference on Ritalin provided new information and a chance to update our groundbreaking 1994 cover, which was written by Claudia Wallis, now the editor of TIME FOR KIDS.
