Personally, I found it hard to believe I'm the one with the problems when my mother, who was going through a divorce, was making time to Candid Camera me. Nevertheless, in the interest of self-exploration and to avoid writing an actual science story for this mental-health issue, I decided to be analyzed by Dr. Phil. Searching for problems to work on, I considered talking to him about not having got a haircut for 11 months in an effort to disguise the fact that I'm going bald. But I figured Dr. Phil might not be the best...
...late-night talk-show host that he did. Right then. In his parents' living room. Essany got a slot on local-cable-access television, persuaded Mom to run the camera, put a backdrop of the Manhattan skyline behind his desk and over the next six years managed to book actual celebrities, including Jeff Foxworthy and Carrot Top.

...comes to actual war, how many Iraqis will fight? If the scrambling retreat of soldiers after Operation Desert Storm is anything to go by, no civilian is going to jeopardize his life. "Everyone will get into a car, pack their TV, gold, clothes and dollars and drive away to the border," Ahmed, a Baghdad businessman says laughing. Iraqis might resent the American intervention - and they do - but there is no great love for Saddam Hussein either. If it looks as though the regime might topple, they will quickly back an alternative. But unless a change in leadership is assured, they...
