...military needs to arrive at a consensus concerning proper mental-health care for troops. When I received a diagnosis of a mental illness in 2003 prior to an impending deployment, my military psychiatrist advocated for me. Despite my suggesting an alternative assignment to honor the terms of my contract, he recommended a medical discharge, giving me the opportunity to recover and develop the coping skills necessary to live a successful life.

It may be the best American play of the new century. It has snagged nearly every honor in sight, from the Pulitzer Prize to a likely haul at this weekend's Tony Awards...
Former White House spokesman scott McClellan deserves a medal for having the courage to tell the American people what many already knew [June 9]. Life inside the Beltway is nothing but a struggle for power. While it is an honor to be appointed press secretary, McClellan should not be expected to stand before the Washington press corps every week preaching the Administration's line when the messenger knows full well that what he is saying is untrue.
