Too often, we write 'em off.

A special program at the Museum of Modern Art in New York has been designed to stimulate Alzheimer patients and caregivers. With selected artworks for observation and discussion. And do you know what? It's working. Yes, the Alzheimer patients are in the early and moderate stages of the incurable disease. There's anecdotal evidence that minds are being stimulated. That's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. It sounds like what I call good vibes therapy. I'm convinced that even minds of patients in late stages of Alzheimer's can be stimulated. In so many, many ways. But too often, we write 'em off. --Jim Broede
