Thank you Andy, this newbie will be bolder next time when he feels sure. However, I'm unsure about Bridget Fonda whoe year of birth conflicts with that on her biog. 1964 or 1974. I'll leave it to the wise. Pip Wilson

1903 - John Carew Eccles, psychologist, winner of Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1963, (d. 1997) .... should read neurophysiologist, not pyschologist.

Changed. However everyone can change everything here, so you could have done it yourself as well. Just be bold. andy 13:20, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)
