...others have presented conclusions of research projects in areas ranging from "Fantasy Differences in Men and Women" to "Political Attitudes in Children." The current issue takes on the question of "Does the Law Work for You?" with contributors grappling with the problems of "The Psychiatrist and the Legal Process" and the perceptions of witnesses in court. "We discovered that the more punitive people in each of our groups had better recall than the less punitive," writes the author, who disputes the idea that the adversary system "can winnow out the truth...
