Julian Jaynes was six years old and staring at a yellow forsythia bush when the problem first entered his mind: "I thought, 'How do I know that other people see the same yellow I see?'

...good wind that blows no ill. April's breezes brought welcome boons: a respite from steam heat, restorative glimpses of crocus and forsythia, the first game of the new baseball season.
