I'm including this liitle story to show you how important a smile can be. "(Dr.) X had a patient who committed suicide from the Golden Gate in 1963, but the jump that affected him most occurred in the seventies. 'I went to this guy's apartment afterward with the assistant medical examiner,'he told me. 'This guy was in his thirties, lived alone, pretty bare apartment. He'd written a note and left it on his bureau. It said,'I'm going to walk to the bridge. If one person smiles at me on the way, I will not jump.'" --New Yorker Magazine article, "Jumpers,"
