19871220.

As a sad footnote to the remarks on Schizophrenia,* I have just been told that the (apparently) alcoholic and schizophrenic son of the former owners of [CH], and his apparently schizophrenic girlfriend, had a baby a few weeks ago, which is to be out out for adoption** (I am sorry to say that the neighbours are not interested: being farmers, they tend to be disciples of the Eysenck/Jensen (?)*** school in the argument over heredity and environment). In the context of the Circles patterns, there is an extra poignancy in this decision, however sensible it my seem and, indeed, be.

I have been told that [CH] was originally purchased for this son, after he decided not to practice at the Bar.

**I had thought that it was the parents' decision: I now learn that it was possibly forced upon them by the Social Services – a terrible thing. <19880108>

***[Yes.]
