I have stated twice, Walt, that my facts were taken from the articles in Newsweek you claim to have read and the CBS (and CNN) news reports you claim to have seen. I submit that either by deliberation or by simple inability to grasp ideas you have misrepresented the medical findings in those very same sources to the network and perhaps to yourself. Whatever the reason, I find this behavior in a health pro- fessional very frightening. If it makes you feel any better, I wouldn't entrust myself to an AMA-type doctor who was incapable of correctly drawing simple conclusions either. (This has nothing to do with the correctness of the conclusions, but the correctness of the process of drawing conclusions.) If I see that a person cannot reliably draw facts from material I am familiar with, what am I to think about the facts drawn from material I am not familiar with? -- Byron C.
