Of all my prosecutors ... not one is my peer, but each and all are my political sovereigns; and had your honor submitted my case t...o the jury, as was clearly your duty, then I should have had just cause of protest, for not one of those men was my peer; but, native or foreign born, white or black, rich or poor, educated or ignorant, sober or drunk, each and every man of them was my political superior; hence, in no sense, my peer.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Research show clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants' fears and distress by soothing wor...ds and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child's hair.
