Case in point: check out the obituary for Rosemary Brown, who died on the same day as Dr. Hilgard. This is a woman who specialized in communication with dead composers, once watched television with Franz Liszt (the BBC, I expect), and was even rescued from an overflowing bath by Chopin himself. Now do North American newspapers give us obituaries like that?
