Gesell

The 10-storey Dubrovnik hotel, in the coastal city of Villa Gesell, collapsed early on Tuesday, said Reuters news agency, quoting the local municipality.

District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell declared a mistrial, however, after learning of irregularities in the jury selection process.

After hearing a lecture on adult development, she immersed herself in academic studies and interviewed more than 100 people, trying to do for adults “what Gesell and Spock did for children,” as she put it.

“It occurred to me that what Gesell and Spock did for children hadn’t been done for us adults,” Sheehy wrote.

But Gesell is one of those staunch fans.
