...have no doubt that many valid cases of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression and bipolar disorder exist and need treatment. I fear, however, that we are overdiagnosing and overdrugging our kids at an alarming rate. KIM KLAYUM Eagan, Minn...
...beneath their claims is a sadder truth: these extremists are pathologically jealous. They feel like dwarfs, which is why they search for towers and all those who tower mightily. We must admit that we failed to teach these people that life is worth living. These extremists exist now, and will exist forever, so the question before us must be, How can we defend both our lives and theirs? We in the Arab world love freedom and want the chance at a decent life. We are not different from you, as it sometimes seems. We may be just temporarily backward. Working...
...bounty-hunting industry might not exist if the government were more competent. The state is supposed to collect child support free of charge. The welfare-reform act of 1996 tried to make the job easier by linking government databases and requiring firms to report new employees to child-support agencies.

Among the many policy issues facing the world, few are as complex as global climate change. Countless scientific, technological and economic issues affect our understanding of the climate conundrum and our response to it. Huge uncertainties exist in these fields, and new climate observations, scientific studies and technological developments are constantly added to the equation. One fact, however, is indisputable: President Bush has crafted the strongest, smartest and most practical climate-change program the U.S. has ever had. No previous Administration has devoted as much Cabinet-level attention to the issue or provided such resources to climate-change science, technology...
