The practice seems harmless, says Pediatrician Gentry Yeatman of the Tacoma, Wash., Madigan Army Medical Center, who became familiar with the massage technique during a 1975 stint at a refugee camp in Indiantown Gap, Pa.

That finding was made by Michigan Researchers David P. Weikart, 49, and Lawrence J. Schweinhart, 33, who last week released an interim report on an 18-year study of the progress of 123 low-IQ children at Perry Elementary School in south Ypsilanti, Mich...
