Frank Sulloway’s Born to Rebel is out in paperback. In this huge study of
birth order and its effects on child development, Sulloway explains why oldest
children are conformists, while their younger siblings head for the barricades.
So did Herod pick the wrong target? His thesis has been challenged by Judith
Rich Harris (Opinion, 12 December, p 48) and Sulloway responds to her criticisms
on the Net at http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/sulloway_harris/index.html. A
discussion that will run and run. Published by Abacus, £9.99, ISBN
0349111006.
