Lynne Taetzsch, author of The Bipolar Dementia Art Chronicles: How a Manic-Depressive Artist Survives Being the Primary Caregiver for Her Father and Ex-Mother-in-Law:

"In his article in the Washinton Post this week, Robert Essner is right on target when he says that we must make curing Alzheimer's a top priority. Those of us who have cared for parents with this disease are all too aware that we or our spouses and siblings are next in line to get it. As Essner points out, 1 in 10 baby boomers are predicted to get Alzheimer's, and that means an enormous strain on our heathcare system. We all need to rally our legislatures to make this issue number one for the FDA right now."
