Joan Kelly found that mediation clients were, on the whole, more satisfied with their divorce outcomes than persons using the adversary system, although her study was limited to persons voluntarily using a private mediation service to mediate integrated agreements not restricted to child custody.

Between the time when the Duke Law Journal first solicited this Essay and the present, one of the authors, Trina Grillo, who is of Afro-Cuban and Italian descent, was diagnosed as having Hodgkin's Disease (a form of cancer) and has undergone radiation therapy. In talking about this experience she said that "cancer has become the first filter through which I see the world. It used to be race, but now it is cancer. My neighbor just became pregnant, and all I could think was 'How could she get pregnant? What if she gets cancer?'" Stephanie Wildman, the co-author, who is Jewish and white, heard this remark and thought, "I understand how she feels; I worry about getting cancer too. I probably worry about it more than most people, because I am such a worrier." But Stephanie's worry is not the same as Trina's. Someone with cancer can think of nothing else. She cannot watch the World Series without wondering which players have had cancer or who in the players' families might have cancer. This world-view with cancer as a filter is different from just thinking or even worrying often about cancer. The worrier has the privilege of forgetting the worry sometimes, even much of the time. The worry can be turned off. The cancer patient does not have the privilege of truly forgetting about her cancer; even when it is not Copyright © Trina Grillo and Stephanie M. Wildman 1991.

A study has been made of the occurrence of insulin in the pancreas of the foetuses of some rodents.The histological methods used confirm the findings of earlier investigators that definite \g=b\-granulationappears in the rat foetus on the 17th\p=n-\18thday of gestation and in the rabbit just before or after birth. Insulin in the foetal rat was demonstrated by the fluorescent antibody method from the 14th day onwards.Bioassays of extracts of pancreas of foetuses from normal animals revealed the presence of insulin or an insulin-like substance in the 14-day rat foetus, in the 18-to 19-day rabbit foetus, in the 16-day mouse foetus and in the 11-day hamster foetus.These findings suggest that insulin was present in the foetuses of these rodents before mature \g=b\-granulation could be detected microscopically.

This paper describes some histologic and histochemical characteristics of an easily transplantable islet-cell tumor of the Syrian hamster. The presence of insulin was demonstrated by means of fluorescent antibody and immunoassay technics. A positive histochemical reaction for tryptophan suggests, but does not prove, the presence of small amounts of glucagon. It is suggested that the tumor may be a useful tool for biologic studies.
