Brain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population, from school days to late middle age, now have very complicated lives indeed.

It was to be a birthday surprise for Letterman, who is a huge fan. But Tom said 'We've got commitments and we just can't do that.' I got to say, my chest went out a little bit at that.
