The Horror of Memory


 According to the morning newspaper, researchers have discovered a protein people need to keep their memory sound. Eliminating the protein, RbAp48, leads to senior moments. For example, you forget where you left your glasses or forget your own phone number. The good news is that this has nothing to do with Alzheimer's disease. But how do you combat a protein deficiency? Do you eat more steak? Do you buy a protein supplement? Do you avoid vegetarian lunches? Or do you lean back, like Donald Rumsfeld, and enjoy forgetting the horrifying mistakes you made when younger?
