I've just added a rewrite of the Introduction at Wikipedia. I happened to write the current-consensus intro there (as it was originally mostly 'technical' and as an editor I favour "general reader" language), so it was difficult for me to do it completely differently (which I'd have liked) - but I think I've made some language improvements though, going through it again. I've turned some of it into new sections, which will hopefully encourage further editing.

I've also added an "Alzheimer's in society" section with a few famous sufferer's names in it. --Matt Lewis 17:26, 26 March 2008 (CDT)
