   [M]uch of the advice from the parenting experts is flapdoodle.
But surely the advice is grounded in research on children's
development?  Yes, from the many useless studies that show
a correlation between the behavior of parents and the
behavior of their biological children and conclude that
parenting shapes the child, as if there were no such thing as
heredity.

   But we must deplore and, so far as possible, overcome the evils of
habitual newspaper reading.  These evils are, chiefly, three: first,
the waste of much time and mental energy in reading unimportant news
and opinions, and premature, untrue, or imperfect accounts of
important matters; second, the awakening of prejudices and the
enkindling of passions through the partisan bias or commercial greed
of newspaper managers; third, the loading of the mind with cheap
literature and the development of an aversion for books and
sustained thought.
