missed setting this straight...
tonight, i verified that the information reported by the _New York Times_,
and the _Dallas Morning News_, that was discussed in this thread was False.
fornix lesions, including temporary instances, do not produce 'memory'
deficits.
i ask folks at both the _New York Times_, and the _Dallas Morning News_ to
discover the source of this Error, and to publish corrections, and any other
necessary clarifying information.

[P. S. what's below is False... the correct stuff was posted, earlier, in a
reply to the msg i posted below.]
