Gerald Minsk used to drop acid and smoke pot to help quell paranoid delusions that Boston's North End mafiosi were conspiring against him. Yes, it's crazy to take hallucinogens to soothe your hallucinations. But that's what untreated mental illness does to you. It can also leave you jobless and sleeping under the Boston University bridge. That's what happened to Minsk, anyway, in the 1970s. For years, his bipolar disorder was virtually ignored as he cycled in and out of jails, mental hospitals and community centers, none of which took the time, or had the resources...
...white core political supporters. They reckon that voters will tolerate heavy-handed police tactics as long as they don't have to see them; that most nonwhites, especially young males, are considered suspect, and that wholesale violations of their civil liberties are an acceptable price to pay for a drop in the crime rate.

Mitchell, a college-educated black woman who had been homeless since developing a mental illness, after she reportedly...

(Just in case you're keeping score, that's about the same cholesterol-lowering effect as that promised by Benecol, the new high-priced margarine approved by the FDA two weeks ago.)

Still unclear is whether soy can help everyone or just those folks who have high cholesterol (over 240 mg/dl) to begin with...
There are worse consequences in the Balkans. Peacekeeping by means of smart bombs that now and then drop down hospital chimneys breeds contradictions. The physician's--and presumably the peacekeeper's--principle, "First, do no harm," loses to the general's "You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs." Everyone expects mistakes and stupidities in war; but when you make war by remote control, a superpower ex machina raining destruction without concomitant risk to self, then your invulnerability (the arrogance of powers unwilling to pay war's reciprocal price in blood) tends to subvert the moral basis...
