...ADAMHA study discloses that at least 50% of the 1.5 million to 2 million Americans with chronic mental illness abuse illicit drugs or alcohol, compared with about 15% in the general population. It also reveals that the dual diagnosis virtually guarantees a hard fall through the cracks of the system. "Most mental health programs screen out people who have substance-abuse problems and send them down the street," explains Julie Boynton, director of a six-month-old rehabilitation center in Los Angeles County that deals specifically with both conditions.

Every artwork created in the past possesses a dual aspect: its contemporaneousness when created and its saturation with time as it survives through the ages. These two elements cannot be separated. Consider a medieval edifice like the Amiens Cathedral. If it were sandblasted to its original surface, the building would be out of keeping with the surrounding medieval structures and would emerge as a distasteful visual anachronism. A close examination of your color illustrations reveals that the Sistine Chapel's uncleaned surfaces have a warmth of spirit that is absent in the cleaned areas.
