eek after week we get bombarded with bad news: wars in various corners of the world, accidents, layoffs, businesses closing, and various and sundry predictions of one apoc- alypse or another. And of course the state of modernW entertainment and culture, such as it is, leaves a lot to desire. To top it off it is the final stages of the presidential campaign, which is enough to make one throw the television out the window. It is easy to fall into despair or at least a sense that all is wrong with the world and nothing is to be done about it. Too easy. While there are many pitfalls to the modern age there are many good things. Going through old newspapers, we were struck by one incident in 1922 during which five members of one family died of typhoid fever in Berlin after drinking bad wa- ter. Think about that for a moment—five members in one fami- ly. While familiar with the term typhoid fever we cannot think of anyone offhand who has had it, let alone died from it. Today only around 400 Americans a year gets the disease and the overwhelming majority get it while traveling overseas, ac- cording to the Center for Disease Control. Think of the tens of thousands of people who in this coun- try alone were infected with polio every year in the early part of this century, leading to a race for a vaccine. Today the dis- ease is all but eradicated, as is smallpox and many others. Say what you will about the modern age—and there are Photo by Edith Tucker many problems with it—there have been many benefits.
