di: di Digest, Vol 78, Issue 2

[Charles Arthur]

Kurt:  well said, re: the Times piece.  However if you would read the full report, you might find problems from a DI point of view.  the Devil is in the details, whatever that means.  see the original piece, not bad but incomplete on critical teaching points and on neurological explanation.
