These principles have been widely accepted in the worlds of child welfare, child mental health, juvenile justice and special education.

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

The same people who would not admit a real economic recovery was underway in 1992 are reluctant to acknowledge that this same recovery is now old and tired in 1996.
