哥伦比亚大学内科和外科医学院公共卫生系的四名教员运用了一个绝妙的想法来提供一些有价值的信息，但他们在一本奇怪而令人失望的书中提出了这一想法。由于他们的分析可能对统计学家和流行病学家具有特殊价值，我希望在其他地方阅读这些专家的意见。但儿科医生、产科医生和围产期医生可能会发现作者的方法令人困惑，如果不是真的困惑的话，而且这本书太长了，他们无法从中学到什么。斯坦博士、苏瑟博士和他们的同事们在1944至1945年间荷兰主要城市发生的饥荒中看到了一场“机会实验”，这场饥荒发生在荷兰各大城市，饥荒发生的时间非常局部，时间也很精确。这场“机会实验”或许能够确定在那段时间内怀孕或出生的婴儿的智力是否会受到影响。在1947年，我描述了直接和明确的

In 1947, I described the immediate and definite
