MENC has a vested interest, not my idea of really impartial collectors =
of data.
Numerous studies have shown that numerous studies show exactly what the =
funding organization want them to.
What we need is a study from the NCAA, for instance, showing that music =
students have increased academic performance relative to athletes. I =
might believe _that_ one.

How bout just the Brain scan that shows that Music uses a very large
portion of the brain to control a high number of small muscles. Opposite
for Sports - small portion of Brain to control very large muscles. (DENNIS
RODMAN...)

I got that from a Lecture at a ClarFest (Richmond) by Dr. Frank R. Wilson.
