Revisiting the ‘Crack Babies’ Epidemic That Was Not

By Michael Winerip
nytimes.com — This week's Retro Report video on "crack babies" (infants born to addicted mothers) lays out how limited scientific studies in the 1980s led to predictions that a generation of children would be damaged for life. Those predictions turned out to be wrong.

New in the Review

By John Williams
nytimes.com — New in the Review Readers of the Book Review will notice three changes instituted this week, two involving our best-seller lists. The e-book list has migrated online, the digital world being its natural habitat. Given the fluid variety of pricing in today's marketplace, we have also stopped including cover prices on the lists.

Great list. RT @bookavore Graphic Novels for Seniors. Yes, really. tmblr.co/ZluBPyl78QMS

Great graphic novels for seniors

tumblr.com — This week Erin and I led a open book discussion about Stitches by David Small, the first time a graphic novel was chosen for one of these public discussions, and we weren't sure who to expect. To our surprise, it was primarily attended by some of our regular seniors, who LOVED the book.

Yay? New NYPD directive: "If police happen upon a topless woman, they are not to arrest her." nyti.ms/15NfYDe

A Police Roll-Call Reminder

By J. David Goodman
nytimes.com — In the cold of February, as New York City police officers gathered for their daily orders at roll call, they were given a rather unusual command, for both its timing and its substance: if officers happened upon a topless woman, they were not to arrest her.
