"Dream Anatomy"

Not all of our tax dollars are wasted. A few pennies left over after paying for smart bombs and funding the grand delusion that teens won't get busy if it's forbidden goes to maintianing the National Library of Medicine's exquisite collection of medical illustration. Some choice pieces, never before seen by the public, are on display in an exhibition called Dream Anatomy, at the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The show runs until June 2003.

You can see more of the exhibition at the NLM web site.
