Head injuries and strokes are not the only culprits that can damage our precious brain reserves. I wonder if those drug experiments of years past might actually have taken something very important away from people's brains. Boomers may find some solace in their assertions that they "didn't inhale," but maybe they just don't remember anymore. DORIS HINDRICHS Lynden...
...help and encouragement they gave me in school," wrote a Texas woman. "It doesn't surprise me in the least that they have responded so generously to the study," a Chicago woman noted.

Why, I wonder, are 36 beers listed on the automated scanning device, which is designed to beam their grocery inventory to a local store? The Tangs - living guinea pigs in a prototype Internet home sponsored and heavily promoted by the Singaporean government - offer a sheepish explanation. Shortly before I arrived at their model apartment, they ran a bunch of grocery items through the scanner to make it look like they use it all the time. Eager to accommodate, they did so at the urging of the pair...
