...thing that should never be cheapened. Love, she believed, brought out the best in people. While she was partial to men, many of her loyal friends were women. She had countless friends - of both genders - all over the city, and they all took care of her. As she got older, for example, she was not supposed to drive, but drive she did, in Maine and at her beloved Holly Hill, in Briarcliff Manor, and so the local policemen watched out for her - as did her passengers - to make sure nothing happened when she was behind the wheel...

"Epileptic seizures involve random firing of neurons in the temporal lobes, which include the hippocampus," he says, and that could scramble the circuit...
...mountain they went, and now, decades later, the house looks as if it just grew there naturally, instead of being assembled out of pieces Ruth salvaged from older cabins and then put back together like Lincoln Logs. The Graham home is modest in style but had plenty of room over the years for their five children and the family dogs, not to mention the visitors who came by. Fellow preachers and Presidents, moguls and movie stars, icons like Muhammad Ali--all visited with the Grahams here. Bono once showed up and played songs on the piano in the living room...
