...other cities helped turn ossified cultures into creative ones. The politics of liberation transformed personal lives. In Germany especially, the young's impatience with the complicit evasions of their elders enabled a nation to face up to its past with a rare honesty. Even at the time, not all '60s beliefs and behavior stood up to examination. Some sacred texts were junk. (Have you tried to read Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth lately? Don't.)

Several (but not all) studies show significant improvements in memory and cognition. If you start taking estrogen in your 60s, however, the brain seems to suffer a bit. As always, you have to balance the risks and the benefits. But these findings show how little, even now, researchers truly understand about the role estrogen plays in women's bodies...
