The notion that Goddard *intentionally* retouched the photos to make the
Kallikaks appear more "feeble-minded" has not gone unchallenged. See
the following for some responses to this controversy:
Fancher, R. E. (1987). Henry Goddard and The Kallikak Family
photographs: "Conscious skulduggery" or "Whig history"? American
Psychologist, 42 585-590.
Kral, M. J. (1988). More on Goddard and the Kallikak family
photographs. American Psychologist, 43, 745-746.
Glenn, S. S., & Ellis, J. (1988). Do the Kallikaks look "menacing"
or "retarded?"
