...none of that going for him. The economy is not his thing. Traveling across Michigan in the days before the primary, McCain realized he had to talk about the looming recession?but he used it, more often than not, as a transition to the things he really cared about???cutting government spending and global warming. If the government weren't spending "$233 million on a bridge to nowhere in Alaska," he would say, the money could be used for retraining programs for displaced workers.

As a psychologist, I am seeing an alarming number of young women who enter my office hating their bodies and starving themselves to achieve an unattainable ideal. Any movement to stop this travesty should be lauded and supported. If Madrid outlaws the use of dangerously thin models in fashion work, perhaps that could begin to force those responsible to adapt...
