Speaking of books, I saw a most interesting work this weekend. Our
daughter, Adrienne (H.S. senior), wanted to retake the communications
portion of her SAT, and did so this weekend. Her study guide was, get this,
a murder-mystery novel. Pertinent phrases were bolded in the text. The
idea behind the book was that it was easier to assimilate verbal concepts if
they are presented in story-like fashion where your imagination can work
with the more "prosaic" thought processes. Intriguing! She felt she did
better 2nd time 'round due to this study guide.

Subject: A GREAT BOOK
Hey Guys,
I am half way through The Professor and the Mad Man. A fantastic book
with many different themes. Although the author becomes a bit obssessive
with
some details, it tells the story of a mentally ill, incarcerated killer and
former surgeon contributed 20,000 entries into the Oxford English Dictonary.
