(Akinetic: impairment of voluntary movement - consider the possibilities) Alan, thx for the info. I almost fear the sidewinding campaign of perverted humor and hostile prayers from the armed fringes of the religious right who will both use this affliction as the keystone of their attacks on Ms. Reno connecting her disease with irrefutable logic to the incident in Waco, Texas. But, perhaps we (Parkinsonian's) will have a prominent person on the national scene to hold up as an example of our disease to the un and ill informed if not an outright spokesman. On another front, Wendy RosaBosa La Bosa Rosa, is this merely an outlier value within your correlative theory linking physicists and parkinsons or possibly the start of a new case study connecting the legal profession to parkinsons (the Reno/Samuelson branch of the disease)? Lawyer/Parkie jokes to follow? I hope not. regards, Rat in Phoenix (recently back from Texas with a possible palliative if not cure for Parkinsons ..... two words: Shiner Bock)
