...DEVELOPMENTAL disabilities, and thought I had seen everything. Your story on the conjoined twins Abigail and Brittany Hensel [MEDICINE, March 25] certainly made me look at my life's problems in a different light. The politicians inside the Beltway could learn a lot from these two bright six-year-old girls. I wish the twins well. ROBERT A. GEBHARDT Plattsburgh, New York...

Mrs. Weinstein valiantly and persistently used every skill and power...
...kindergarten room. Abigail and Brittany Hensel are at the Play-Doh table, when a visitor asks, How much is 10 plus 10? Britty starts counting on her fingers. Abby helpfully lays down her hand on the table. They count fingers and toes with all the accuracy their six-year-old minds can muster. "Nineteen," they conclude. Then the clearly ancient guest asks, "Guess how old I am." Britty can't resist the chance to tease: "900,000!" she shrieks. The sisters dissolve into giggles. They reach up and slap a celebratory high five...
