...Right. It's so counterintuitive. Play builds brains and gives children the ability to impose self-control and creates within brain circuitry the ability to pay attention. When you look at kids playing, adults see it as a waste of time. They have no clue what play does. Vigorous social play stimulates the growth of brain cells in the executive portion of the brain in the frontal cortex, and that lays the foundation for the circuitry of self-regulation, which is what you need to pay attention when you're at school.

That result, argued Mugabe, was a "mistake." Punishment was severe: the M.D.C. claims 70 of its supporters have been killed, thousands beaten and 25,000 displaced. More than 200 supporters are missing. M.D.C. party leaders have also been arrested - Tsvangirai has been detained repeatedly - and his No. 2.
