A friend once said to me that three moves equal one fire to get rid of excess baggage. If so, I sense I have little baggage left. Some of my friends have kidded me that I cannot hold a job for long. In fact, I have moved at least every 12 years during my 43-year career in pediatrics. Once again, I am on the move, but this time it is due to my retirement from the Presidency of The William T. Grant Foundation in New York City. I have moved back to The University of Rochester, New York, where the Editorial Office will be located in the Department of Pediatrics.

Originally established by Commissioner William Bratton and his colleagues in the New York City Police Department, Compstat has emerged as a new organisational paradigm in policing. This paper presents data drawn from the written views of police managers from across the USA. The respondents were attending the Administrative Officer's Course at the Southern Police Institute of the University of Louisville, Kentucky. During the course of their studies, they read several works on Compstat, including Silverman's (1999) work, NYPD Battles Crime. Content analysis of their written comments reveals the strengths and weaknesses that they associate with the Compstat model.

Stanton, Brandon. Little humans. New York, NY: Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers, 2014. PrintFrom the creator of Humans of New York, comes the most dynamic, colourful and diverse group of little people of New York City. Brandon Stanton’s ability to capture the unique personalities of his subjects and “tell” a story through pictures is both captivating and brilliantly vivid. The ‘Little Humans’ are shown throughout the book in bright close-ups and even brighter clothing. Each page is filled in entirely with a close-up photograph of a child in different situations. Cultural diversity and differences are prominent in the photographs, but the text tackles the sameness we all share.“Little humans can be tough…but not too tough to need a hug.”Set against New York City streets, Little Humans embodies the ethnic diversity of the people of NYC. The text is limited, but has themes of resiliency, strength, identity and character woven throughout. Stanton writes of how little people are strong, talented and helpful.The story itself could have been written with more depth; however, the lack of narrative allows the reader to engage with the photographs and imagine the story of each unique person that is highlighted.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Kerri TrombleyKerri Trombley is a Vice Principal with Sturgeon School Division and is currently completing her Master’s Degree in Elementary Education at the University of Alberta. She shares her love of literature with all of her students.

The magnificent, A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, usually known as the Oxford English Dictionary (O.E.D.), is rarely in error. But, it is in regard to the chronology of the word paediatric (pediatric). The editors of the O.E.D. traced each of the 414,825 words contained in the dictionary from their earliest known appearance in English. The O.E.D. claims that the word paediatrlc first appeared on page 1065 of the November 3, 1894, issue of the Lancet as follows: "Professor Bokai, the well-known paediatric physician...."1 In January 1884, however, a monthly journal with the title, The Archives of Pediatrics, was begun in New York City under the editorship of Dr. William Perry Watson. Three years later, on September 9, 1887, after the adjournment of the Ninth International Medical Congress, a number of physicians interested in child health organized a new society which they named the American Pediatric Society.2 I have not been able to find the words pediatric, pediatrics, or pediatrician used in the literature prior to the year 1884, at least in this country. If any reader knows of an earlier appearance of these words, the Editorial Office of Pediatrics would be delighted to receive such information.

This wide-ranging chapter follows Harry Dean Stanton in his first years after military service. He returned to Lexington, Kentucky, and enrolled at the University of Kentucky, eventually making his way to the university's Guignol Theatre where a performance as Alfred Doolittle in Pygmalion convinced him to pursue a career in acting. He continued his studies at the prestigious Pasadena Playhouse in California, spending several years there before signing up with a traveling, all-male chorus group that took him across the country. Like many actors, including his fellow Kentuckian and future friend Warren Oates, Harry Dean tried to put his training to work in New York City, but after spending more time on park benches than the stage he joined with the Strawbridge Children's Theater and was back traveling cross-country. He tired of this before long, and it was back to California, this time for good.
