I'm convinced that if you want to know what my father was like, look at my youngest child. He's very different from his two older brothers as my father was different from the rest of his family. And in the same ways-- studious, indifferent to sports (in Boston! Holy shit!). It's definitely not environment. We'll all be watching a game (even my wife) and he'll go read history or something.

In 1995, after a struggle with mental illness, Galland committed suicide. That same year, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lawrence Wright published an article in the New Yorker shedding light on a disturbing psychological study. The scientific inquiry, masterminded by prominent psychologist Dr. Peter Neubauer and his Child Development Center, set out to answer the fundamental question of nature vs. nurture. Through the now-defunct Louise Wise adoption agency, an unknown number of twins and triplets were placed in different homes and secretly observed for years by researchers who diligently made home visits. (Parents were told these visits were standard, to track the adoptive children’s progress.)
