...meantime, scientists caution that the news that children with ADHD appear to follow normal brain-development patterns, albeit a few years behind their peers, should not be taken as an O.K. to throw away their Ritalin. To the contrary, one of the study's co-authors, Dr. Judith Rapoport of the National Institute of Mental Health, says another study the team just submitted for publication (but which has yet to be peer-reviewed) suggests that in a few key areas of the brain that relate to attention and focus, kids with ADHD hew more closely to typical development trajectories only...

The weight of the candy is predetermined, but the curator is allowed to determine the dimensions of the pour. I’m tempted to throw myself into it like a newly coronated prince into his gold coins, or at least to grab a greedy handful like Augustus Gloop in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” But instead I stand tentatively on the brink, unsure of what is allowed here.

He may, on behalf of the Queen, cancel any law enacted by the Australian government or even throw out the government and call for new elections. Or he may not. In practice he almost never does. The last and only time he did was in 1975, when the G-G, Sir John Kerr, fired the Labor government led by Gough Whitlam. This caused shock and resentment. Millions of Australians...
