In the state of Massachusetts the subject now seems particularly urgent because of recent cases, especially that of an eleven-year-old Braintree girl whose father sued to get her back from a state-run shelter where she had been placed for her own protection. A judge gave in to his demand. The girl went home on Aug. 1. On Sept. 23 she died in a hospital, apparently after being beaten repeatedly over a period...

Few Western observers would quarrel with the selection of Sadat, whose courageous mission to Jerusalem last November had set the stage for the tumultuous peace drive that followed.
