A good friend wears a leg-brace courtesy of polio as a child, so that's kind of hard to miss. But if I didn't know her I'm not certain how real it would be to me, and I have a few years on you, never mind Ara. The early '50s are a long time ago.

One irony of all this is this economy-wise is the idea of sending every American a cheque. Who'd have thought Trump would be adopting Andrew Yang's Universal Basic Income*!

* Not that Yang's proposal was actually universal when you got down into the details. A lot of disabled people would have got less.
