...Joshua Copel, president-elect of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, can come up with only one other example of medical imaging equipment being used in a nonmedical setting--and that fad became extinct decades ago: "They no longer have those X-ray machines in shoe stores so you can look at the bones in your feet as much as you want...
...last year its consumer magazine went so far as to list an address readers could use to alert compliance officers whenever retail sonographers set up shop in their community. Since then, a few states, including California and Illinois, have proposed legislation banning such ultrasounds. In the meantime, says Copel, "physicians can do a fair amount to blunt the impact of these places." If provided with a blank videotape beforehand, his staff will happily pop it into the VCR and record the sonogram for posterity. Some of his colleagues will do the same with DVDs.

Copel doesn't believe Blue has ever memorized any of his autobiographical work, and Blue himself denies even writing it down. "I never do a work the same way twice. I try to work like a jazz musician, blowing an old song from my soul, but blowing it ever new," he says. Blue sees...
