Just spent another "60 Minutes" with my favorite news program.
Tonight, two of the three reports covered the grim subject of environment and cancer.
First, on the environment, the report showed ponds of grayish coal ashes on the river bank. These soupy refuse was left behind by the energy generating plants that used coal to generate electricity. The amount of the ash stockpiled by the pristine waterways is huge. Now these unwanted leftover may have leaked into the rivers in the beautiful North Carolina.
The second report was on the dreadful disease like cancer. I do not know if what the doctor from South Africa had said on chemotherapy was unusual. But I did put on my listening ears, so I could hear them. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong told the reporter that frequent low dosage chemotherapy treatment is more effective. He said when higher dosages of chemo medicine are administered, the cancer cell run away from the cancer drugs.
Lastly, I am so gladly to see that tonight's edition of the news program ended on a very soothing note. The crispy and blissful sound of a Stradivari violin put me in a mood to wish all of us a Christmas season that is as magic as the sound from these delicately handcrafted instruments. Italian are known for their artistic mastery. That is why only Italian can produce a violins like the revered Stradivari. It looks like Italian are also people with great and generous hearts. To return a favor to the forest that provides the fine woods for the violins, they play music to the trees. Good for them!
Of course, a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year to all!
