TRANSCRIPT Nov 6, 2009  Not very much attention has been paid until now to the effects of air pollution on young infants. TRANSCRIPT Nov 6, 2009  Centuries of evolution have shaped human hearing to recognize and appreciate subtle changes in sound --- the wind blowing through the trees, the song of birds, sometimes a distant cry of distress or of approaching danger. TRANSCRIPT Nov 5, 2009  In an ideal world, all an agency like the FDA would have to do is just put information on the medicine bottle and that would be enough. But in the real world --- in the bathrooms and hospitals, doctor's offices, and homes --- people make mistakes. TRANSCRIPT Eagle & Chicken A man once found an eagle's egg and put it in the nest of a barnyard hen. The eagle hatched and grew up with the rest of a brood of chicks and though he didn't look at all the same. He scratched the earth for worms and bugs and played the chicken's games. The eagle clucked and cackled, he made a chicken's sound; He thrashed his wings, but only flew some two feet off the ground. That's high as chickens fly, the eagle had been told. The years passed and one day when the eagle was quite old. He saw something magnificent flying very high And making great majestic circles up there in the sky. He'd never seen the likes of it. "What's that?" he asked in awe, While he watched in wonder at the grace and power he saw. "Why that's an eagle," someone said, "He belongs up there, it's clear. Just as we, since we are chickens, belong earthbound down here." The old eagle just accepted that, most everybody does. And he lived and died a chicken, for that's what he thought he was.
