Ladeedah is an audio novella that takes place in a Black utopic space after “the improvised revolution.” Ladeedah is a tone-deaf, rhythm-lacking Black girl in a world where everyone dances and sings at all times. What is Ladeedah's destiny as a quiet, clumsy genius in a society where movement and sound are the basis of the social structure and the definition of freedom? This excerpt from Ladeedah focuses on Ladeedah's attempts to understand the meaning of revolution from her own perspectives—at home, at school, and in her own mind and body.

To the Editor.— We report an unusual ocular finding associated with the chromosome lq deletion syndrome in a full-term black girl for whom there was no family history of congenital anomalies, fetal wastage, consanguinity, or drug ingestion. The infant was overtly microcephalic (third percentile) with a sloping forehead, metopic sutures open to the brow, and a large posterior fontanel. She had a low anterior hair line, depressed nasal bridge, bulbous nose, thin down-turned lips, prominent philtrum, malformed ears, and a webbed neck.

Just over 100 years ago, Parrot described several children in whom pain in one or more extremities secondary to syphilitic involvement of bone resulted in lack of movement of those extremities. He called this pseudoparalysis. In recent years, the incidence of congenital syphilis has risen dramatically. Most physicians presently in training and many already in practice have had no personal experience with the signs and symptoms of this disorder. A recent case of congenital syphilis presenting with what appeared to be a right hemiparesis is illustrated in the following report. CASE REPORT A 2½-month-old black girl was evaluated for decreased movement of her right arm and right leg of three days' duration.
