Students in a New York City inner city junior high school were surveyed in 1976. They were asked their attitudes toward their neighborhood, the type of people youngsters their age esteem, and in which leisure-time activities they participate. A strong relationship was found to exist between these factors and the degree the youths were involved in substance (drug and alcohol) use. The youths' substance use reflects the manner in which they relate to their environment, rather than a sense of alienation. The findings imply that substance abuse prevention programs will be enhanced by a focus on life-style commitment, rather than such things as drug use per se.

"What kids want to hear from their parents" is the first statement on the cover of this new paperback. It might more appropriately read, "What kids should hear from their parents." This is a well-written pocket manual in Spockian style. The language may appeal to the junior high school-educated parent readers, but, by the same token, breeziness may appear as an oversimplistic approach to child rearing to the senior high school or college-educated parent readers.

The chapter describes Jim Host’s early childhood through his high school years. He was born in Kane, Pennsylvania, on November 23, 1937, to Wilford and Beatrice Host. His early childhood included moves to small mountain towns in New York, Virginia, and West Virginia before his family settled in Ashland, Kentucky, when Jim was in junior high school. Host developed a deep love of baseball and became a successful pitcher for Ashland High School’s baseball team. After graduating from high school in 1955, he turned down a $25,000 signing bonus with the Detroit Tigers, opting instead to accept one of the first two baseball scholarships ever offered by the University of Kentucky.
