...study's authors have shown this assumption is wrong in most cases. Extrapolating from nine case studies of anorexics in Germany and Boston, they concluded that such suicides are not simply a call for help gone wrong, but that anorexics are genuinely determined to die when they attempt to kill themselves. Some of the disturbing means the nine patients profiled used included jumping in front of moving trains, ingesting dangerous household cleaners and setting oneself on fire. These patients also tended to isolate themselves before their suicide attempt, most likely in order to reduce the possibility they would receive life...
...page Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance (2006), "The number of years of experience in a domain is a poor predictor of attained performance." Ericsson, 60, is a professor at Florida State who moved to the U.S. from his native Sweden in 1976 to study with Simon, co-author of the seminal chess paper.

But as such, it is a strangely apt memorial to an incomplete life. Jagged and harrowing references to the Oct. 19 bombing of her homecoming rally in Karachi, at which some 150 died, are inserted almost randomly into otherwise fluid prose that appears to have been written long before. The ubiquitous references to terrorism, however, underscore an important point. As a Muslim, a political leader and later a victim, Bhutto...
