On the Physical and Intellectual Development of Black Children With and Without Sickle Cell Trait

James E. Bowman M.D.1 and Shelly C. Bernstein 2

1 Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, Chicago, Illinois 60637
2 The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637

The article by McCormack et al. in the December 1975 issue (p. 1,021) is another example of the apparent fascination of some investigators with the intellectual performance of blacks.

The abstract of this article is misleading. It contains none of the qualifications listed in the body of the article, such as "The intellectual performance of the sickle-cell carrier children does not allow us to make any [italics ours] conclusions at this time...." If no conclusions can be made, then what is the purpose of this report?
