...battery of tests. Dyslectics, who are often lefthanded or ambidextrous, tend to reverse letters (b for d), twist words (was for saw), confuse word order (please up hurry), subtract from left to right, or have difficulty with sequential thinking. Despite these problems, they may be intellectually brilliant, with oral skills so keen they are able to bluff their way through early grades. Dyslectics can become high achievers like Edison, Einstein, General Patton, Nelson Rockefeller and Bruce Tenner. But they are often misdiagnosed as retarded or emotionally disturbed...

Do we want our children taught by teachers or evangelists, by an Albert Einstein or an Oral Roberts? We must not confuse patriotism and religion.

In oral herpes, which is generally caused by herpes simplex Type 1, it travels through nerve fibers into the trigeminal ganglia, a group of nerve cells located near the brain. In genital herpes, usually caused by Type 2, the virus withdraws to the sacral ganglia, nerve cell clusters near the spinal cord. Lodged in the nerve cells, the herpes simplex virus is beyond the reach of the body's immune system and enters a latent stage. This stage may last forever...
