Memories
Scientists
have
planted
IA22j
memories
into
people's
minds
in
a
study
that
demonstrates
just
how
easy
it
is
for
police
to
convince people
they
have
IA2~
something
that
did
not
actually
happen.
More
than
a
third
of
people
are
susceptible
to
false
memories,
accord-
ing

by
professor
of

at

why
so
many
peo-
ple
in
Washington
DC
said
they
saw
a
white
van
near
to
the
scene
of
last
year's
sniper
shootings.
In
fact,
the
snipers
used
a
dark
car
and
no
white
van
was
involved.
'Where
did
that
white
van
come
from?
It
came
from
the
fact
that
someone
taiked
to
the
media
and
suddenly
the
whole
country
is
looking
for
a
white
van
that
perhaps
did
not
exist,'
she
said.
In
one
study,
professor
implanted
a
false
memory
in
the
minds
of
volunteers
who
had
visited
Disneyland
as
children.

Town

This
new
presentation
by
the
internationally
renowned
Little
Angel
Theatre
company,
takes
a
fresh
and
poetic
look
at
Grimm's
~oveable
and
popular
folk
tale
the
Musicians
of
Bremen.
Using
actors,
puppets,
masks
and
music,
our
story
takes
our
heroes
from
the
safety
of
the
town
to
the
edge
of
the
forest
where
the
robbers
live.

Shakespeare's
enduring
masterpiece
is
presented
in
all
its
colourful
humour
and
enchantment.
A
Midsummer
Night's
Dream
concerns
the
adventures
and
misadventures
of
a
group
of
mortals
and
immortals
in
their
resolutions
of
the
confusions
and
problems
of
loving
and
being
loved.
It
is
called
a
'dream'
because
of
the
unrealistic
happenings
that
occur
to
the
characters.
Choreography

the
company's
artistic
director
and
features
international
soloists
from
Australia,

of
Berlin,
Ellington
and

like
Let's

The
Pot
of
Gold
Ralph
worked
nights
on
a
plan
that
promised
him
a
well-paying
job
in
Texas,
but
through
no
fault
of
his
own
this
promise
was
never
real-
ized.
In
the
third
year
of
his
marriage
with
Laura,
a
firm
~hat
was
al-
most
identical
in
size
and
character
with
the
firm
Ralph
worked
for
un-
derwent
a
change
of
ownership,
and
Ralph
was
approached
and
asked
if
he
would
be
interested
in
joining
the
overhauled
firm.
His
own
job
prom-
ised
only
meager
sec.urity
after
a
series
of
slow
promotions
and
he
was
glad
of
the
chance
to
escape.
He
met
the
new
owners,
and
their
enthusi-
,asm
for
him
seemed
intense.
They
were
prepared
to
put
him
in
charge
of
a
department
and
pay
him
twice
what
he
was
getting
then.
The
arrange-
ment
was
to
remain
tacit
for
a
month
or
two,
until
the
new
owners
had
secured
their
position,
but.
they
shook
hands
warmly
and
had
a
drink
on
the
deal,
and
th'at
night
Ralph
took
Laura
out
to
dinner
at
an
expensive
restaurant.
They
decided
to
look
for
a
larger
apartment,
to
have
a
child,
and
to
buy
a
secondhand
car.
They
faced
their
good
fortune
with
perfect
calm,
for
it
was
what
they
had
expected
all
along.
The
city
seemed
to
them
a
generous
place,
where
people
were
rewarded
either
by
a
sudden
and
de-
served
development
like
this
or
by
the
capricious
bounty
of
lawsuits,
ec-
centric
and
peripheral
business
ventures,
unexpected
legacies
and
other
windfalls.
He
was
twenty-eight
years
old;
poverty
and
youth
were
inseparable
in
his
experience,
and
one
was
ending
with
the
other.
The
life
they
were
about
to
'leave
had
not
been
hard,
and
he
thought
with
sentiment
of
the
soiled
tablecloth
in
the
Italian
restaurant
where
they
usually
went
for
their
celebrations,
and
the
high
spirits
with
which
Laura
on
a
wet
night
ran
from
the
subway
to
the
bus
stop.
But
they
were
drawing
away
from
all
this.
Shirt
sales
in
department-store
basements,
lines
at
meat
counters,
weak
drinks,
the
roses
he
brought
her
up
from
the
subway
in
the
spring,
when
roses
were
cheap
-
these
were
all
unmistakably
the
souvenirs
of
the
poor,
and
while
they
seemed
to
him
good
and
gentle,
he
was
glad
that
they
would
soon
be
memories.
The
reorganization
and
Ralph's
new
position
hung
fire,
but
they
talked
about
it
freely
when
with
friends.
"All
we
need
is
patience,"
Laura
38
would
say.
There
were
many
delays
and
postponements,
and
they
waited
with
the
patience
of
people
expecting
justice.
He
decided
to
telephone
his
potential
employers.
Their
secretary
told
him
they
were
both
out.
This
made
him
apprehensive.
He
called
several
times
from
the
telephone
booth
in
the
lobby
of
the
building
he
worked
in
and
was
told
that
they
were
busy,
they
were
out,
they
were
in
conference
with
lawyers,
or
they
were
talking
long-distance.
This
variety
of
excuses
frightened
him.
He
said
nothing
to
Laura
that
evening
and
tried
to
call
them
the
next
day
..
Late
in
the
afternoon,
after
many
tries,
one
of
them
came
to
the
phone.
"We
gave
the
job
to
somebody
else,
sonny,"
he
said.
Like a
saddened
father,
he
spoke
to
Ralph
in
a
hoarse
and
gentle
voice.
"Don't
try
and
get
us
on
the
tele-
phone
any
more.
We've
got
other
things
to
do
besides
answer
the
tele-
phone.
This
other
fellow
seemed
better
suited,
sonny.
That's
all
I
can
tell
you,
and
don't
try
to
get
me
on
the
telephone
any
more."
