      Charlie: Finally with my own dysfunction I found the free, share mode and sent it to him, John S. Provatas just now and I posted it for all to see. I am literally moving into the poor house here in N. Wilkesboro on the 28th. Thanks to my cousin I am alive but there is no room for me here. I will go back to work on Aphra as soon as possible, I am on oxygen most of the time and very tired. It was a black mold excerbation of a deep respiratory infection that finally put me in the hospital five times this year and in each hospital I almost died due to the lack of knowledge of my condition a neurotransmitter dysfunction, alpha--delta sleep anomaly. Hospitals are dangerous places for me. So off to the poorhouse where when not on favorite subject, I will try to shoot some tape on. It is clean but pretty scary looking. Oh well. Regards, Leslie

      Charlie: I have mentioned to you before how much my son and granddaughter are suffering due to her autism that is now crippling her. She is so smart, creative, beautiful but trapped inside her body it is an agony to see her suffer. I need a copy of this show for my son now, please Charlie. He is losing his mind and his little family is cracking up. I believe with the information in this program it will help them plan their next move, probably back here to the US as his wife is on the verge of leaving him. It's a tragedy. Can I purchase a copy of this from you for them? Let me know what it is I have to do to get this information to them. I am deathly ill myself and may not live much longer but I never give up as you know. Let me help them with this. I want the best information and care for my darling Daphne Magnolia. Thank you. Leslie I am in N. Carolina as of two weeks ago.

      Watching the autism rebroadcast (ownership of this phrase belongs to sugar (08/21/2012 08:46 PM) -- I'm no plagiarist; and neither was Fareed, the imported younger Charlie Rose)), hearing it especially, allowed me to be sure I had just enjoyed the best conversation ever broadcast by PBS -- maybe the best ever carried on television anywhere at any time.

      I am re-enjoying the whole 2nd year of the new science of mind and brain -- starring (in this episode) Rose, Kandel, Fischbach, Frith, State and Singer.

      Never have I heard its equal in articulate skill, important research, and downright listening pleasure.

      I will have to review each episode from my internal DVD and over the internet to try remember the any words of art that help us to understand how research advances understanding of our own past and everyone's future prospects.

      I know Charlie Rose does not assume he and I are responsible for future funding of popular education via shows like his. Responsible, that is, for reform of political economy so that "deficits matter not at all" and democratic presidents ought to risk impeachment by over-ruling congressional abuse of the "power of the purse". Science has taken us from Shakespeare to Kandel and his colleagues. Who will take us from Keynes to forbidding abuse by austerity freaks and deficit hawks?

      Watching the autism rebroadcast reminds me of a question I often wonder about when experts discuss the burgeoning increase in this condition: has a study been done to learn if there is a connection between use of assisted fertility (donor, IVF, etc.) in conceiving these children?
