Since Readers are well versed in science, we are sure you know what Chelation is (quoting Guru Net): Chemistry. To combine (a metal ion) with a chemical compound to form a ring. Medicine. To remove (a heavy metal, such as lead or mercury) from the bloodstream by means of a chelate ... The trouble with science and medicine, of course, is that they are always offering some brilliant invention that is of no use whatever in one's current dire strait [there is a singular of “straits”, isn't there?]. Upon return from Atlanta to Anguilla, the Staff here has been immersed in throwing out old files, trying to fix dead computers, and watching the totally abysmal political commercials and the horrible news from the Iraq morass. What is needed, boffins [good English word] is some method of compressing the news that one does NOT wish to see again and replacing it with, say, a clip of Marlene Dietrich singing “See what the boys in the back room will have ...” [the OO's all time favorite movie scene]. Such electronic Chelation would be worth billions and a Nobel prize.
