Child and Adolescent Mental Disorders and the Search for an NIMH Director

SIX YEARS ago, James Leckman, MD, of Yale University, New Haven, Conn, and Glen Elliott, MD, PhD, of the University of California—San Francisco, spearheaded a review of the needs and opportunities for research in mental disorders of children and adolescents. This effort, sponsored by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC, was an extraordinary enterprise that included experts in fields such as genetics, epidemiology, and behavioral development. The original report 1 noted that substantive progress had been made in understanding illnesses that cause enormous hardship and pain to the afflicted children, their families, and society. The report laid out a research agenda while highlighting how little money was being spent on either basic or applied research in this area. In last month's issue of theArchives, many of the contributors to the original report prepared an update 2 —a report card on the recent

Ivy Day in the Empty Room

ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO, at a time when the issues clustered around race still simmered on the back burners of national consciousness, I had a fierce argument with one of my oldest black friends. He had called me from his home in Lansing, Michigan, to report about a conflict between members of his group, people devoted to the memory of Malcolm X, and a group of black ministers who were partisans of the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. At issue between the two groups was the naming of a street in Lansing, one of the early homes of Malcolm Little, now known as Malcolm X. My friend's group wanted a certain street in Lansing named for Malcolm X. The black ministers wanted the same street named for Martin Luther King. I responded to the conflict by pointing out what I considered a bizarre contradiction. At a time when drugs, drive-by shootings, teenage pregnan cies, unemployment, self-hatred and racism were decimating whole seg ments of the group, it seemed of little practical consequence whether a street in Lansing, Michigan, bore the name of either man. I said that it seemed of greater importance for the two opposing groups to unite their energies to advance the causes for which both men stood and for which they gave their lives. I went further, and enraged my friend, by saying that the worship of the images of these two martyrs, during such a bleak and deadly time, was in reality a substitute for meaningful actions, if not the institutionalization of a death wish. My friend and I broke off our communication after this exchange, and I fell to brooding over whether my response to him had grown out of my own insensitivity to the basic needs, of unsophisticated people, for positive images or role models. Still, the ease with which images were used to obscure substance continued to bother me. Now, a few years later, the generation of men whose work in early life made the Civil Rights Movement is re-surfacing, though they are radically transformed in terms of public image. Vernon Jordan seems to be a Washington insider. Andrew Young seems to be an elder statesman. James Farmer was on television recently, speaking professorily as a repository of

Freedom vs fairness. The need for a rational system of evaluation of medical trainees.

SIX YEARS ago, I became director of my department's residency program. My counterparts in other programs will aver that our job has a steep learning curve. Most of us enter into it with a reasonable grounding in clinical and biomedical science and with good intentions regarding resident education. Our credentials as administrators, personnel managers, and counselors are suspect. With luck, these skills are acquired on the job even as we try to appear competent. Of all the program director's roles, the most daunting is that of evaluator. There are two main contexts in which the program director must do this: in the screening of applicants to the residency program and in the ongoing assessment of competency among current house staff members. The stakes are obviously high and the job monumental; is it really possible to develop fair, honest, and, ultimately, accurate appraisals of our trainees? Lack of faith in our

Getting the Facts Straight: New Views of Mexico and Its Peoples in Recently Adopted U.S. History Textbooks in Texas

EVERY SIX YEARS, the Texas State Board of Education holds public hearings as part of the complex process of adopting or approving primary and secondary school textbooks for free distribution to over 1,100 public school districts. Publishers vie to capture a share of this extremely large and lucrative market by placing their products in one of usually five approved slots in each subject category. The significance of the textbook approval process extends far beyond the borders of the Lone Star State, since sales of titles successful in Texas often soar nationwide as well. In an interesting coincidence, the commemoration of 1492 has overlapped with the Texas adoptions cycle for eighthand ninth-grade U.S. history textbooks. Those who follow these proceedings naturally expected the big story to be the extent to which the new U.S. history

Bhopal Tragedy's Health Effects

SIX YEARS AGO, on December 3, 1984, a toxic gas leak at a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, released methyl isocyanate (MIC) and its reaction products. The number of persons "exposed" and "injured" remains uncertain.1Official estimates from the Indian government place the dead at around 1800.2Others estimate mortality to have been between 2500 and 5000 and the number of injured to have been up to 200 000.3,4 Until the Bhopal incident, neither deaths nor cases of toxic effects from MIC exposure had been recorded inIndex Medicus.51 We have extensively surveyed the medical literature concerning effects of MIC exposure on the victims of the disaster and laboratory studies in animals. A great deal has been learned, but many questions still remain unanswered. THE BHOPAL PLANT In 1969, the Union Carbide Corporation built a formulation plant in Bhopal, India, to mix and

WOOL-DYEING: SIX YEARS OF INNOVATION

Comment

THE SIX YEARS since the reorganisation of local government in Northern Ireland have seen a massive development of services in the public library field, with progress on almost all fronts simultaneously. Five Education and Library Boards were created under legislation which gave certain advantages to the library service, not least of which was the close link with education, and including a statutory library committee and a designated post of chief librarian. Another helpful feature is the close similarity of population, which ranges from 230,000 in the Western Board to 360,000 in Belfast.

CLEAN GULF ASSOCIATES - SIX YEARS LATER

ABSTRACT Clean Gulf Associates, an organization representing approximately 60 oil and gas operators and 99% of the production in the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico, continues to improve and add to its stockpile of equipment for containment and cleanup of oil spills. A separate Cost Participation Area off the Texas Coast was established over two years ago; material and equipment is stockpiled and available at two bases on the Texas coast. Additions to the equipment stockpile include a versatile radio communication system designed for use during cleanup operations, and a new self-propelled skimmer for use in shallow-water cleanup operations. During the past year, approximately 50 training sessions on oil spill containment and cleanup with CGA equipment were held.

Joint Publications Research Service Translations

DURING THE LAST SIX YEARS a large body of valuable research materials known as JPRS translations has become available to research libraries and to the general public. Much of this material is unique because the original sources are often completely unavailable to organizations outside the government. Furthermore, in the case of translations from difficult languages, such as Arabic and Chinese, it would be impossible for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for many scholars to make use of the original materials. Organizations distributing the translations have received many letters from scholars and librarians testifying to the great value of the materials. Theodore Kyriak of Research and Microfilm Publications, Inc., says of the period 19571961: JPRS social science translations represent over 90 per cent of all scholarly translations produced in English during that period in the social sciences.1 The quantity of materials issuing from this source has been voluminous. By the end of 1962, more than thirteen thousand and five hundred JPRS translations had been issued in the social sciences. Many thousands more had been issued in scientific and technical fields. Amounting to approximately one million pages since March 1957, about seven hundred thousand of which are in the social sciences, these materials now form one of the most complete and current collections of translations available in ' the United States.2

The Budget Process in South Vietnam

T IS NOW ALMOST SIX YEARS since the Geneva Agreement marked the end of the Indochina War and since the designation of Ngo-Dinh-Diem as Prime Minister of South Vietnam marked the end of French control in that country. In these years the leaders of South Vietnam have subdued, if not eliminated, internal dissension, dismissed their former hereditary ruler, and adopted a Westernized Constitution with a French-style National Assembly and an American-style Presidency. After eighty years under French colonial rule, which did not include training in the intricacies of representative selfgovernment, South Vietnam has emerged from war, foreign domination, and semi-feudalism to take its place among the emergent republics of Asia. This article examines an important aspect of South Vietnam's brief experience with democratic institutions-the role of the Executive and the Legislature in the budget process. In view of the central importance of legislative purse-string control in democratic governments generally, special attention is given to the role of the National Assembly in this process. The control of appropriations, and revenues, has traditionally meant not only control over policy in the evolution of parliamentary institutions, but control over administrative agencies as well. Furthermore, the Vietnamese Constitution itself gives the budget function special prominence, singling it out for specific mention in an otherwise general discussion of the National Assembly's legislative powers.' Finally, in the few dozen laws which the Vietnamese National Assembly has thus far enacted, its most serious and timeconsuming business has been the consideration of the three budgets presented to it by the President. In i887, the French Government combined five of its territorial possessions into an artificial Indochinese Union. Three of the territories, Tonkin, Annam, and Cochinchina, were themselves artificially created from the older monarchy of Vietnam. The other two, Cambodia and Laos, had been politically separate from each other, and even more apart, culturally and politically, from Vietnam. This forced union was ruled by a French Governor-General, assisted by governors or superior residents charged with the local affairs of the five individual states. The representative assemblies which were established by the French Administration were purely consulta-

Modern Indian Drama

As RECENTLY AS SIX YEARS AGO, New Delhi, the capital of the Indian Republic, lacked a theater with adequate facilities for staging modern productions. When, in 1953, the Central Executive of the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society, of which the writer happens to be the Secretary, considered the question of taking a loan from the Government for building a theater, there were many who felt that it would be a suicidal venture, as the returns would not meet the four and a half per cent interest on the loan, not to say anything of the refund of the capital. Today, however, fifty dramatic groups are operating in the capital alone and the Fine Arts Theater is booked months in advance by these and others from the various regions.

Oil and Gas for Canada

EXACTLY SIX YEARS and two months ago, on February 13, 1947, Imperial Oil Limited made its Leduc discovery-a discovery that started a chain of developments that are having a very profound effect on the economic life of Canada and may well have important repercussions in the United States. Canada's petroleum industry has come a long way in six years and is itself, as an industry, close to maturity. However, when viewed as a new, important, and most welcome segment of Canada's industry and economy, the potential of the impact of petrochemistry and petrometallurgy (a coined term) on the resources of a young country very bountifully endowed by nature, the possibilities are inclined to stagger the imagination.

COARCTATION OF THE AORTA

SIX YEARS have now elapsed since Crafoord 1 in Sweden and Gross 2 in this country independently did the first successful operations to remove the strictured segment in coarctation of the aorta. The ingenuity and pioneering of these two men deserve much credit, for prior to their work coarctation of the aorta was looked on only as an interesting entity for which little could be done in the way of treatment. Since the hypertension produced by the coarctation is due to a mechanical obstruction, it falls into that small group of hypertensive conditions for which surgery may offer a cure. Therefore, by removal of the obstruction and reestablishment of the vascular channel many patients may be given the opportunity of a longer and healthier life. In the past four and a half years surgical intervention for the correction of coarctation of the aorta has been undertaken by one of us

Family-Life Education in Illinois High Schools

SIX YEARS AGO, not more than one or two high schools in Illinois had comprehensive, well-planned programs of education for marriage and family life. However, at the close of the 1949-50 school year at least twentyfive schools had such programs. While most of the schools are in the Chicago suburban area, not all of them are, and interest is not confined to that locality. These are comprehensive programs in education for marriage and family life, not simply a unit on budgeting, or sex education, or child care, or dating courtesy, though any of these may be included as integral parts of the complete offering. The movement probably owes its rapid growth to several facts. First, there has been keen awareness on the
