From Yahoo Internet Life, Sept '98:
Roger Ebert, on writing a review of the movie Wilde:
"Doing research on the Web is like using a library assembled
piecemeal by packrats and vandalized nightly."
From Smithsonian Magazine, Aug '98:
The Vermont Back Research Institute at the Unversity of Vermont uses
the "Vermont Disability Prediction Questionnaire", including items:
- How many times have you visited a medical doctor in the past for back
problems?
- How many times have you been married?
- How do you get along with your coworkers?
Why do they ask these questions? Dr. Roland Hazard shrugs: "We
don't know." It's just that answers to such questions have proved
predictive on whether back problems will become disabling.
