Interesting that you should post this when you did, Chris. I've been reading Paul Offit's book, _Autism's False Prophets_ and I just finished the chapter on Andrew Wakefield. I'm finding the book to be quite readable and intended for a lay audience. I'm amazed at the passion with which some people maintain their opinions and their hatred (naive, perhaps). Offit has received any number of threats against him and against his family. Carol
