and he wanted to send my son to Swarthmore. When Allen said, “But Abi, I’m having a real hard time in algebra! How am I ever going to make into physics class?” Abi answered, “Math is not what matters most, Allen- (but I’ll help you with that) -what matters most, is- you only need to unconditonally-love and respect your mother, the one who gave you life.” ~hope you all enjoy in-joy my offerings, here.
with Highest Love&Gratitude,

BTW- Dr. Cahn’s family never practiced Judaism… they were not religious. He used to joke that his father worshiped the president, whom he worked for, closely… Roosevelt.

interesting no body called- everybody must’ve thought that everybody else thought to call me?.. Dec. 29th is marked the first day I felt my baby kicking!.. and smelling roses… he has been an extremely close dear friend of mine, and my son in his later years, when many felt his personality was difficult to adapt. He was writing memoirs and scientific materials- he wished for me to assist him with, and be his editor… wonder who will call me, first?.. Love, LM Sisley

We visited Dr Robert Cahn at the Swedish hospital in Edmonds Washington last Thursday and then yesterday learned of his passing, from his Daughter, Giving. Loved your article.
Thank you;

With regard to the Comments made by T Schaffer and by Lauren Wolf.
Please remember that authors do have sense and that they use as Dan Brown does Poetic Licence.
With with regard to to fact that it would be a painfull experience to feel you were drowning is an understatement,and if you were unaware of what was happening then it would be traumatic to the end.
You are forgetting T Shaffer and Miss Pope that when you are adminstering TLV it is done usually in a controlled environment and under medical statutes that the patient or their Guardians have discussed so that it is usually painless to go under and to recover from useing the correct tecniques.
Dan Brown is describing a totally different scenario.
Where you have a kidnapped person confined to a small space and and undergoing severe memory trauma then he thinks he is drowning and Mr Brown is describing his apparent “after death experience”
with regard to the recovery to “LIFE” as explained it was not the normal procedure which as far as we know (THIS HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED ON AN ADULT YET)
but it described a fairly accurate description of what ussually happens when someone has ingested a great deal of sea water.
and the Character Sato Voices this opinion but has limited time so has to take this urgent action to get Langdon back.
and under these circumstances YES it would be painfull.
Please note this is explained in the brief mention of the tecnique of “WaterBoarding”
This system of Interegation is a very mild version of TLV and that is why the process has been “Apparently Officially banned as an interrogation method”
the efect of appearing to drown and then being brought round again many times is traumatic, painfull and mentally damaging.

Therefore I do Suggest that if you are going to review something you dont just read the book once but read it several times then just to make sure READ IT AGAIN, as you read a bit closer you may begin to understand the authors Mindset and see the book for what it is, Fiction based on available Researched Facts but augmented with the writers imagination. Because “THAT IS WHAT MAKES A BEST SELLING BOOK AND AUTHOR”
So I say to you Messrs Pope and Shaffer DO YOUR DUE DILLIGENCE ALSO before you attack a singular item in a book

Perhaps Sheri is responsible….and she paid the ultimate price. Not wearing a lab coat especially when working with a highly flammable chemical was foolish. She had a chemistry degree so she should have known better. I was a young researcher once and used to get pissed off at having to wear bulky protective clothing, eye glasses, and not being able to sip my coffee between experiments (food was banned in the lab). I learned quickly after having my urine come back positive for high tritium, that lab safety is not to be taken lightly. Who knows what else I have ingested during my lab career? Lab safety is foremost a personal choice, and no one can force you to wear protective clothing if you choose to work after hours. When I was a grad student, I seldom wore a lab coat on the weekend, and you can bet, I drank coffee next to my protein purification column.
