The new mantra for researchers fighting Alzheimer’s disease is “go early,” before memory loss or other pathology appears. The rationale for this approach holds that by the time dementia sets in the disease may already be destroying brain cells, placing severe limits on treatment options.

Until the late 1960s, you could walk into a post office and deposit money in a savings account at the same time that you bought stamps or mailed packages. An outgrowth of the financial panic of 1907, the no-frills postal bank surged in popularity during the Great Depression.
