1 This reviewer feels the guilt of a movie reviewer who tells the ending of a Hitchcock film; but justifies himself on the grounds that this is an “art,” not a “family” publication.

2 My guess is that Mrs. Nair would agree that only a man's friendly family psychiatrist knows whether he maximizes his psychic income, and that we would be unlikely to learn about agricultural development from such information.

3 In Alcorn County, Mississippi: “Contrary to every other trend, and against a 23 percent decline in rural population, churches had increased by 31 percent. Less than 4000 households supported sixty-four church establishments in 1960” (p. 64).

4 We are again indebted to a publisher for putting all the footnotes in the back of die book, providing the reader an opportunity to practice three-handed manipulations. Fortunately, in this case, the footnotes are interesting.

5 A similar point has long been a part of our folk knowledge: well brought up children are not allowed to misbehave.
