"Remembering Alzheimer's: A Special Report" Broadcast starting week of
November 28, 2007
This week on The Infinite Mind, a new, special report on the effects of
Alzheimer's Disease on one family, and the latest news on breakthroughs
in research and treatments for the disorder.
"Remembering Alzheimer's" features American Public Media's Brian
Newhouse, who examines the impact that Alzheimer's had on his father.
The show also includes conversations with leading researcher Dr. Marilyn
Albert, Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer's Disease Research
Center, and Dr. Peter Reed, Senior Director of Programs for the National
Alzheimer's Association.

what it's like to live with Alzheimer's, from James Smith, 47 years old,
a former executive with American Express who was recently diagnosed with
the illness.
