his mixed sample. We know that some TVs have ab- normal traces, though a recent series in New York showed inconclusive results as the neurologist rated everyone "normal", meaning "not positively epileptic". The ordinary male human would correspond to Fisher's rats who failed to show femininity even under the violent stimulus of the injection.

12) That the TV phenomenon has psychological consequences is not in question; this way of life has made introverts of many of us. How many have been driven to madness or suicide by their duality is unknown; we see only the survivors. Also, the sociological atmosphere no doubt affects the degree. ot TV activity, and certainly its display. Thus, there will appear to be a connection with psychology and sociology, and the known incidence of TVs in a puritanical period would be low. On the other hand, in a society where all dressed alike the TVs would pass un-noticed and only the TSS would be observable.

13) I will gladly agree that there is not enough data yet to reach a firm conclusion; but I feel strongly that there IS enough to formulate a conclusive program of experiments to prove out the above theory. This is unfortunately NOT true of the behaviorist theory, where the jargon can be twisted to explain any real or imaginary phenomenon. Perhaps we may be able to use Foundation funds to promote such a program? I shall live in hopes of seeing the day when the psychotherapists accept the FACT that TV is no more amenable to their expensive treatment than epilepsy, alcoholism, schizophrenia and left-handedness have proved to be!
