++Oliver Sachs writes his farewell in today's New York Times. A brilliant neuroscientist and writer, Oliver Sachs has treated us to the bizarre nature of the mind, exploring our love of music and colors as well as strange conditions that had defied diagnosis.
++Oliver has lost vision in one eye because of a cancerous tumor. Now many years later at the age of 81 he has been told he has terminal liver cancer.
++With typical panache he quotes David Hume's writings when that philosopher was dying at the age of 64 in "My Life".
++Hopefully Oliver's case will be like Art Buckwald's when the humorist had to be kicked out of the hospice because he was living too long.
