...Dartmouth researchers are not yet sure of aniseikonia's cause. They think it may be some malformation of the front part of the eye, or a larger number of light-sensitive cones in one retina than in the other. To detect the condition they have devised a complex instrument of peepholes, dots and lights, called the Ophthalmo-Eikonometer. To correct the condition they, and American Optical Co., have developed "iseikonic spectacles" with miniature telescope lenses to balance images...

S., are you now beginning to feel the need of an editorial page, and inventing an "overflow of comment, correction, controversy, and information" in which, by careful selection and arrangement of the letters printed, you can guide readers' thoughts? I had always valued TIME precisely because of its pristine lack of bias. Don't tell me that now, swelled with the sense of power which your more than 450,000 readers give you, you are planning...
