...crisis in the family has implications that extend far beyond the walls of the home. "No society has ever survived after its family life deteriorated," warns Dr. Paul Popenoe, founder of the American Institute of Family Relations. Harvard Professor Emeritus Carle Zimmerman has stated the most pessimistic view: "The extinction of faith in the familistic system is identical with the movements in Greece during the century following the Peloponnesian Wars, and in Rome from about A.D. 150.

...forlorn, ill-fed Dickens who lodged alone during the blacking-factory days was the original of all the young innocents set wandering in his books-the Oliver Twists and David Copperfields and Pips. Through them, his evocations of childhood and the child's point of view are still unmatched for sympathy and immediacy, as well as for their perceptive mixture of terror and delight...
