Last Week’s Poll Results: Last week’s poll involved autism and the nine-page feature on that subject in our latest issue. “Saddening and eye-opening, but not altogether conclusive,” ruled the majority (66.6 percent) of respondents. The remainder split evenly (at 16.7 percent each) between those who thought the feature bravura coverage of an ailment needing more study and those who ranked autism as less significant than an affliction like cancer.
