Carl Zimmer Quote

In the years after he was forced out of Vineland, Goddard drifted away from the eugenics movement. Rather than figuring out how to keep the feebleminded from having children, Goddard spent his time trying to find ways to help children, no matter their condition. As for myself, Goddard once said, I think I have gone over to the enemy.
