protein receptors which serve as "filters" in remembering past signals. Behavioral "filters" acquired during pre-and perinatal "programming" are Nature's way of preparing the neonate to function in the parent's environment. Technically, these "learned" filters would enable the child to adapt more quickly and successfully to the home environment. The parents' experiences help "preprogram" the behavior of the child, so that it may more effectively deal with environmental exigencies. It is important to note that individual events of parental anger and fear do not necessarily distort the "physiology" of the developing child. It is specifically "chronic," or continuously held emotions that prove to be detrimental during pregnancy. For example, parents that did not wish to have a child, parents that are continuously concerned about their own and consequently their offspring's chances for survival, women who sustain physical and

But after General George C. Marshall succeeded to Craig's post, the exigencies of national defense relegated that problem in his mind to the status of a legalistic quibble. The crypt- analytic agencies pressed ahead in their intercept programs. The extreme secrecy in which they were cloaked helped them avoid detection. They concentrated on radio messages, since the cable companies, fully cognizant of the legal restrictions, in general refused to turn over any foreign communications to them. Consequently, 95 per cent of the intercepts were radio messages
