The Pamphleteer

During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree. The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer's

Unless you are directly affected by the disease, it's difficult to understand
the tragic and frustrating pathology of Alzheimer's. Yet as it promises to
affect half of all seniors over 85, it's crucial to discern early-onset
symptoms, such as forgetfulness and disorientation, from the normal behavior and
mood swings of the elderly. Created by PBS, this unique "Living
Center" hopes to clear up the cobwebs of misinformation and offer hands-on
tools for patients, families, and their caregivers.
