...group with the highest rate of mental problems, according to the study, are those between 18 and 24. Young active-duty soldiers were three times as likely as those over 40 to be diagnosed with PTSD and/or another mental health disorder...
...Crimson’s .160. Although none of the Crimson men reached double-digits in kills, senior Andy Nelson led the way with nine kills, followed by Weissbourd’s and junior Jamie Crooks’ eight. Crooks also racked up six digs, Harvard’s highest of the match. But the Crimson’s 10 attack errors in the second game spoiled its chances of victory, as it hit .000 compared to NYU’s .276 hitting percentage. As a result of its numerous errors as well as a weaker attack, Harvard fell...

But a similar high-income tax boom happened in the late 1990s, so Bush can't take too much credit. He might not want to: the shift in incomes toward the top may be great for the federal budget.
