GG: a minor Gould Goldberg note
A step down from the recent lofty pronouncements on the Goldbergs:
Just had a note from a friend who knows of my interest in Gould, which he
very decidedly does not share, but he's a fine human being nonetheless.
> I just finished perusing the following book:
> Restak, Richard M.
> Older & Wiser; Hot to Maintain Peak Mental Ability for as Long as
> You Live. N.Y., Simon & Schuster, 1997.
>At the end he has a number of recommendations for keeping the brain in top

>Variations. It goes on a bit more about Gould, but I can't tell you now
>what it says.
That's all I know for now. I wonder if any version of the Goldbergs will
do. Perhaps he specifies. Will have to check.
