　　Issue 61-"High-profile awards such as the Nobel Prize are actually damaging to society because they suggest that only a few people deserve such recognition."

　　Argument 53-Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants(1) who showed signs of mild distress(4) when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn(2), a time when their mothers&apos production of melatonin(3)—a hormone known to affect some brain functions—would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children—now teenagers—who had shown signs of distress identified themselves as shy(5). Clearly, increased levels of melatonin bore birth cause shyness(4) during infancy and this shyness continues into later life(6).

　　Argument67-The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a mewspaper serving the villages of Castorville and Polluxton.

　　"Both the villages of castorville and Polluxtom have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property taxes. To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments into a single department located in Castorville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service. Last year the library in Pollluxton had 20percent fewer users than during the previous year. It follows that we should now further economize and improve service, as we did with garbage collection, by closing the library in Polluxton and using the library in Casrorcille to serve both villages."
