"Salicylates are members of the same chemical family as aspirin, a medicine used to
treat headaches. Although many foods are naturally rich in salicylates, for the past
several decades food-processing companies have also been adding salicylates to foods as
preservatives. This rise in the commercial use of salicylates has been found to correlate
with a steady decline in the average number of headaches reported by participants in our
twenty-year study. Recently, food-processing companies have found that salicylates can
also be used as flavor additives for foods. With this new use for salicylates, we can
expect a continued steady decline in the number of headaches suffered by the average
citizen of Mentia."

"Twenty years ago Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of Tertia and
concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared by an entire village
rather than by their own biological parents. However, my recent interviews with children
living in the group of islands that includes Tertia show that these children spend much
more time talking about their biological parents than about other adults in the village.
This research proves that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture is false,
and thus that the observation-centered approach to studying cultures is invalid. Because
they are using the interview-centered method, my team of graduate students working in
Tertia will establish a much more accurate understanding of child-rearing traditions
there and in other island cultures."

17) Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been
found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore
were believed to have been unique to the Palean people. Recently, however,
archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the
Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient
Paleans could only have crossed it by boat, but there is no evidence that the Paleans had
