Thurietta Brown The Bigger, The Better? Big numbers are hard to understand. Even crystal clear illustra tions of the magnitude of what is actually meant do little to help us. For example, how big is a trillion? Visually, the quantity looks like this: 1,000,000,000,000. It's a million million or, as mathematicians would say, "10 to the 12th power." (Got that?) It's the dollar amount of President Reagan's proposed national budget. According to a recent newscast, if a woman alive on the day Christ was born started spending one trillion dollars at the rate of $1,000,000 per day, she would still be going strong today?with another 750 years left in her shopping spree. (Helpful, right?) Somehow, even after hearing these explanations, I am left needing more clarification. They may as well have said, "It's bigger than a breadbasket." I've run across some other bits of useful (?) information: ?The average cost for making a movie in 1985 was $16.8 million; an additional $7 million was needed for marketing. President Reagan's annual salary is $200,000. (Not much when we are talking about numbers like trillions.) ?Boeing Corporation, an aerospace firm in Seattle, Wash., has received $285 million in federal tax refunds even though their profits for 1981-84 totaled $2 billion. ?The national debt is some $2 trillion. In order to retire that debt, each American would have to send to Washington close to $8,000. If you are interested in helping to pay off the national debt, send your check to The Treasury Department, Bureau of Public Debt, Department G, Washington, D.C. 20239. I think I'll stay home for awhile. I certainly don't want to be crushed in the stampede to the Post Office! Letters To The Editor Writer Seeks Information On Old Mill To The Editor: I have been doing genealogy work on the Robinson, Palmer, and Milam families in Warren County, North Carolina.

ROBINSON Macon I 1 ???#' V i i Account Incorrect To The Editor: Thanks for the title, but no, I am not an attorney, only the wife of one and the mother of one. EVA CLAYTON Littleton Cytoskeleton Even cells have backbones, of a sort, and figuring out how they work is providing valuable new insights into how cells function. It's been little more than a decade since biologists discovered that eu karyotic cells?those that make up plants and animals?have a complex "skeleton." It is called the cytoskeleton. Since its discovery the effort to figure out what it does, and how it does it, has become one of the hottest areas in cell biology, one that is revolu tionizing experts' understanding of the inner, mechanical workings of the cell.
