Jeepers, that's a *fascinating* profile, many thanks. I'm pretty sure he's the guy who was on Letterman. I'd never have known he was autistic if it hadn't been discussed in the interview. I can't say the article clarifies anything about him, though. It just raises more questions, concerning him and the nature of the human mind generally. ------------------------ Yahoo!
