Lily, for one, is glad that it's the therapy she did try. One of her favorite films used to be James Mangold's 1999 adaptation of Girl, Interrupted, in which Winona Ryder plays a real-life borderline author.

Framing the text are stats-laden "Did You Know?" boxes, snapshots of the President looking presidential (glad-handing seniors, holding babies, hammering nails) and inspiring section headers describing Bush's achievements ("Established the Freedom Agenda to Spread Hope Through Liberty") that read as handpicked epitaphs. The slim volume is punctuated by a list of "100 Things Americans May Not Know About the Bush Administration Record." In its last...
...would be very glad to see peace and a central government in Somalia, but I do not think that the departure of [Yusuf] and Ethiopian troops will bring a peace," the departing President's adviser Abbi Has tells TIME. "Yusuf and Ethiopian troops were not in Somalia when the Somali people began to be held ransom, so all those people who are now saying Yusuf is blocking peace, where were they at that time?" - With reporting by Alexander Dawale / Nairobi...
