If you want contraversy, do some looking into the rate of ritalin
prescription in the Delaware Valley (Philadelphia, etc.)  It's WAY above
normal, and is about to become a full blown scandal...  People are writing
to their congressmen.  Seems like a good source for examining childrem
prescribed ritalin who do not suffer from ADHD.
