I still believe that E.T. was "cured" by proximity to some sort of life force from members of his own species on the arriving ship. But how did he get sick???????? Empathy works both ways. If E.T. drinking a sixpack can make Elliott drunk, then Elliott staying out all night and catching a cold (he appeared to be sick, coughing if I recall, when he returns) could make E.T. sick!!!!!!! This and/or his inability to live without the "life force" could be the cause(s). Rich Rosen pyuxjj!rlr
