...campus. Data from a 2001 survey of college mental-health counselors, when compared with past findings, revealed that the percentage of students treated at college counseling centers who have had psychological problems diagnosed and are taking psychotropic drugs increased from 7% in 1992 to 18% in 2001, according to Greg Snodgrass, director of the counseling center at Texas State University. The survey also found that during the previous five years, 85% of North American student counseling centers reported an increase in students with "severe psychological problems...

Thought I’d get a little history in—witch trials and everything,” he says as he watches a friend get her face painted a flattering shade of asphyxia-blue.

The Beeb is planning a "digital creative" archive that will make what he calls "the best television library in the world" available online. It's a service, Dyke says, that the BBC's charter compels it to provide free to all British citizens. But BBC lovers abroad may have...
