I met Carole King 20 years ago, and she was everything you'd want in a celebrity - gracious, humble, engaging. I told her this was one of my favorite songs from her blockbuster album "Tapestry." That album was # 1 on the Billboard charts #OTD in 1971. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBMG...

A few Halloweens ago I was on call the younger doctors wanted to watch a scary movie "from when you were a kid." I picked the 1978 version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Donald Sutherland was outstanding in this movie.
