...cortex is arguably the greatest piece of engineering known. Scientists from all fields--ranging from embryology to computer science--strive to learn how its structure participates in the developmental program of our genes...
...windows of opportunity for development at various ages, and neural plasticity [SPECIAL REPORT, Feb. 3] should challenge parents and educators to question some popular assumptions about child rearing. Because the brain's greatest growth spurt continues until age 10, and "rich experiences really do produce rich brains," we should strive to give our children a wide variety of experiences rather than depend on artificial delivery systems. That is why learning in the real world is so powerful for young children, and computers, which merely deliver a "virtual" experience, may be appropriate for older students but not younger ones.

And this, none of us should forget as we strive to find the balance between the "I" and the "we" that Mr. Kaufman rightly identifies. --William D.

Agrarians, like today's lower middle class and working poor, would soon demand greater access to government, complain of the too-close relationship between government and business, rail against monopolies, seek improved public education and generally strive to become a more integral part of America. By listening to their grievances, Andrew Jackson, beaten badly in the election of 1824, was hoisted to the White House four years later on nothing more specific than his boisterous belief in the dignity of the ordinary citizen...
...need help now. Why neglect what we already have in hand? The already proven benefits of DHEA hormone therapy are enormously impressive. In human studies, DHEA has been shown to dramatically decrease risk to cardiovascular disease and restore immune balance, thereby decreasing risk to autoimmune disorders. While genetic engineers strive year after year to make fruit flies and worms live longer, real people are using DHEA and achieving very satisfying results.
