...read TIME's profiles of them. They are the best and brightest. Every American should be proud of them. The account of how TIME journalists Michael Weisskopf and James Nachtwey were injured after Weisskopf grabbed a grenade thrown into their humvee, saving the lives of several soldiers, gave sharp insight into what is really going on in Iraq. I understood what our troops face every day. As I read the article, I wanted to protect and praise each trooper. Thank you for this honest and valuable coverage. Tamara M. Anthony Shrewsbury...
Sadly, the show treats this hackneyed six-degrees-of-fornication observation like a major insight. Like Sex and the City, Word clearly wants to be a font of urban-sexual trend spotting, romantic wisdom and magazine-ready catchphrases.

To admit some problems can't be solved is the first step toward finding a larger solution. Says Gottman: "We try to build up the couple's friendship, their ability to repair conflict and to deal...
...Traditional approaches ask people to look at the past and figure out why they're stuck," says Weiner-Davis, whose graduate degree is in social work. "But that insight generally leads people only to be experts in why they're having a problem--and novices in what to do about it. People on the brink of divorce do not have the luxury of time to take this journey backward. They need an instant injection of hope." Weiner-Davis encourages a dose of what she calls "real giving"--asking couples to realize what their partner needs in certain situations and provide...
