[ExI] Washoe's life ends

This is an endearing story about Washoe who, like Coco, could 
communicate with sign language.  (Also a small but interesting 
comment about Chomsky's and Pinker's views on sign language.)

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the 
circle, then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what 
is inside the circle and everything outside the circle, then that is 
an open system perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
