My second child, Corey, will be five this year. He was born into a nontoxic household, so he hasn t been as sick. But after a pesticide exposure when he was fourteen months, he had a seizure and started banging his head. He d have these tantrums and bang his head and scream because he was reacting, then scream because he was hurting himself and unable to stop. 

The second phase (Phase II) begins when the female (ideally) has found and attracted a male who is an acceptable compromise in terms of the genes and resources offered. Reproduction eventually begins. The woman s second child is the most likely of all her children to have been fathered by her partner, the first sometimes having been fathered by one of her previous male partners (towards the end of Phase I) (Schacht and Ger-showitz 1963 Baker and Beilis 1995). In the middle of Phase II, fidelity is at its greatest and the risk of sperm competition at its lowest. 

At the time of the study, approximately half of the interviewees were married, and one in five was divorced. Women were more likely than men to have never married.

Although 80% cited some religious affiliation, mostly Protestant, a number reported no religious affiliation.

Much of the careful laboratory work was performed by Tideman, such as that which led to the validation of the molar Kerr constant as a numerical criterion for the discrimination between often closely related molecular configurations.46 Tideman s son, Ian, was bom in 1938 and shortly afterwards, Tideman became a Demonstrator in Chemistry at UCL and also taught chemistry at Queen s College, Harley Street (see Chap. 4). She had a second child, Nicolette, in 1940. As a result of Tideman s research contributions at UCL, she was awarded a D.Sc. (London) in 1960. 

Now you are in the presence of a patient on her second episode of depression. The estimated risk for a subsequent episode in her case has now increased to about 80%. Now your clinical curiosity is really stimulated. You probe further (in reality, it takes several sessions and questioning to assemble a solid history, as patients simply do not readily remember all details), and it becomes apparent that this patient had an episode of postpartum depression after the birth of her second child 9 years ago. And now, statistically, the risk for a fourth episode sometime in the future is increased to almost a certainty—90% or more. 

Strengthened by so much undivided love, the first and only child can feel undivided from the parents, part of the marital love that unites them all. Mother and father treat the child as "one of us," as an integral part of their new relationship as parents. When a second child comes along, this treatment generally changes as both children are treated as "two of them" the first child now becoming just "one of the kids."... 

In multiple-child families, it is the arrival of the second child that often helps break the magical hold of child number one, who can experience a significant loss as maternal attention necessarily shifts to care for the new brother or sister. Without benefit of an additional child, however, a few mother/only child relationships can continue primarily attached throughout the boy s or girl s growing up. The special quality of the relationship remains unrivaled by the mother s husband or by significant relationships the older...

There Niels and his brother Harald, nineteen months younger, grew up. 

Married or single, the occupants of Post Office Box 1663 were young and healthy they produced so many babies that Groves ordered either the reservation commander or the laboratory director—both versions of the story survive—to staunch the flood. Oppenheimer, if Oppenheimer it was, refused the duty. With justification his wife Kitty bore him a second child, a daughter, Katherine, called Toni, on December 7, 1944.
