Value of these new residences
was almost 10 times (9.0 the low

After all these years, modern

ward TO vindicate DR.. Samuel John
son. crusty old English philosopher,
wisecracker and photographer.
They say he was not as eccentric as
legend makes out.
One Of the crazy" things that
johnson did was to touch every post
he passed on his walks abroad. The
experts now say that the explosive
old doctor suffered from high blood
pressure at a time when the ailment
was not understood and that fire..
quently he was beset by dizzy spells.
The more he walked the greater his
vertigo, so he made a rule to touch
the posts to steady himself.
