It's just an impression, but it's lame in the same way as one or two of those.Kip Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751319031224838771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-30717970537302323342010-08-11T19:51:55.872-07:002010-08-11T19:51:55.872-07:00Wertham kept popping-up.

He was earlier involved in the case of Albert Fish, specifically trying to prevent his execution so that he could be studied in order to better understand criminals of his sort. And I remember a letter from Wertham to the editors of <i>TV Guide</i> in the late '70s, claiming that “smoke”, if not “fire” could be seen in the effect of television on the behavior of children.<br /><br />Were it not for the out-and-out falsification of some evidence used in <i>SotI</i>, I would claim that Wertham were a well-meaning sort who was simply a poor social scientist (failing to understand sample-selection bias and so forth). But that falsification, though not precluding good intentions, at the least takes the “simply” out of the story.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.com
