Anyone serious about keeping up with news regarding PD or any other medical subject should have a medical dictionary. There are several good ones on the market, and the one I bought (and use a lot) is Taber's Encyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 18th ed: F. A. Davis Co., Philadelphia. Written mostly for nurses and medical aides rather than doctors, it uses simple language, has lots of good illustrations and other general information. Cheers, Joe -- J. R.
