[Magdalen] Random facts of the day

[ME Michaud]

Great book:
Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language by Nora Groce.
A study of Martha's Vineyard, where intermarriage and
hereditary deafness created a population with significant
numbers of deaf people and the island population's
ways of coping. Great reading for anyone considering
different models of pluralism.
