Ken, Janet, and other Listfriends, In the reply to Janet that I was mentally composing I was going to say that differences in emphasis in the two reports of same facts, evident right from the beginning in the titles "Fetal cells ease life for Parkinson's patients" vs. "Fetal Cell Therapy Benefits Some Parkinson's Patients, First Controlled Clinical Trial Shows Mixed Results", give us quite different impressions, that a home town version giving recognition to a local player may emphasize the positive, and that we should be careful when drawing inferences from reports containing lots of imprecise words like "some", "many", and "significant" -- and "lots of," as well. ;-) Ken, your fine analysis of the whole background of the study and interpretation of the results sure go way beyond that. You're really on the ball. Many thanks. Phil Tompkins Hoboken NJ age 61/dx 1990
