Marjorie, I think we all owe you a vote of thanks for a job well done. I find especially interesting the disproportionate rate of PD deaths white vs. black. As you say, perhaps there is a statistician amongst us who can convert these numbers into a form that will help in our quest for research funding. >>All of the statistics I have entered on the Net in the past week or so, represent 4 lunch breaks cut *very* short & 8 regular breaks used finding & copying all this information. I hope they will be of use to someone who can really understand them.<< Perhaps we can promote this as a new form of dieting. Joe Young [log in to unmask]
