Bateson and Jaeger held an evaluation meeting in which the general consensus was that the trip had been a success, and the International School deserved to continue indefinitely. Jaeger promised an alumni reunion at some future date aboard a cruise ship and suggest a short two-week excursion through the Caribbean...
...work with Victor, who lived out his life, still animal-like, under the attentive eye of a Mme. Guerin, in Paris. Given the space Lane allots to "Itard's Legacy," he seems to feel that the young doctor's contribution to the science of education made his project a success.

Such "bankable" stars as Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand can easily command $1 million a picture; top-name directors...
...spots. Lemongello was becoming a household word of sorts-at least in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. But, as he ruefully admitted, "if you mentioned my name in Philadelphia, no one would know me." He realized that unless he could get a recording contract, his instant success would evaporate...
