[accessibleimage] Re: The Runaway Jury

Forwarded from Bob Marek

Not quite to the point, but I remember a summer scheme for
children where a
totally blind girl was invited to join a team of judges for
a dance
competition. She walked among the dancers stopping here and
there, appearing
to be listening, and then she came with a verdict which
coincided with that
of sighted judges. When asked to define her criteria, the
girl said without
hesitation - "That couple made more wind than any other
pair."
