...community, if there is even a community at the "heart" of suburbia. The automobile has had the doubly adverse effect of destroying small towns and villages from the inside, by clogging the streets, and from the outside, by drawing consumer-citizens out of the town square and into the strip mall...

Studies of multiple sclerosis patients have proved useful; MS is an autoimmune disorder in which immune cells strip the spinal-cord nerves of their myelin. Decades ago, MS researchers began testing a derivative of coal tar, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), to help MS patients gain as much use of their existing nerves as possible. The benefit of 4-AP in paralysis studies came when research with animals showed that...
