Laura and I both read and discussed with great interest, "Prairie
Fire," an article by Eric Konigsberg in the Jan 16?? issue of the New Yorker.
(The article is not available online.) It is a terribly sad article
about Brandenn Bremmer, the super high IQ boy from Nebraska who
committed suicide at the age of 14. Have any one of my readers also
read the article? I'm thankful for the Web that allows one to read what
others have to say about magazine articles that we read:
The article was also the second mention for me of "indigo children." The first came from the New York Times:
Are They Here to Save the World? - New York Times:
If you have not been in an alternative bookstore lately, it is possible
that you have missed the news about indigo children. They represent
"perhaps the most exciting, albeit odd, change in basic human nature
that has ever been observed and documented," Lee Carroll and Jan Tober
write in "The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived" (Hay House).
The book has sold 250,000 copies since 1999 and has spawned a cottage
industry of books about indigo children.
