Well, it has to be opened someday to be compared! Some may be opened

Capsule Account
To the editor:
Dr. Nyack's experience (AIR Vents, last issue) was not unique. I,
too, removed a time capsule from a patient on whom I was
performing an appendectomy. In this case, too, the operation was
performed on a patient who was born in Philadelphia during the
1930's. Dr. Nyack declined to speculate as to the the
circumstances under which the capsule found its way into the
patient. Myself, I am curious as to whether it was done in
connection with some sort of municipal celebration.

I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six.
Mother took me to see him in a department store
and he asked for my autograph.
