Dear friends: the last post that I sent to the list was a copy of th same letter that I sent to [log in to unmask] While I agree with janet & others about this piece being "thrown together" with Bob Arnet asking some rather flaccid questions about numbers and treatments, I thought that an "atta-boy" was warranted because of the earlier show. We so need the media spotlight to show us how we really are. Did anyone catch one of my faves, Anne Curry on the Today Show on Thurs. With believable tears in her eyes, she asked isn't this a shame, isn't it a tragedy, How could something like this happen to someone so young with so much ahead of him. I cried & cried feeling like-hey, what am I-hair from Willie Nelsons hairbrush? Many ambivalent feelings about this story. I also agree with Lanier-when you have the world by the tail-there's an awful long fall into obscurity. G'nite-my sleeping pills have kicked in with a vengeance!
