Judith-- We wondered the same thing, re: sudden "disappearance" of PD item on Brokaw's show. I decided that either 1. that was all he was going to say about it (unlikely) 2. the earthquake story pre-empted the time or 3. somebody goofed! The few second's mention seemed to be about gene cell research, not, as we anticipated, deept brain stim. It is a puzzlement, to quote the "King".
