...their latest study, Malhi and Lagopoulos used functional magnetic resonance imaging to see what happens in the normalized bipolar brain when subjects are asked to interpret facial expressions-specifically, of fear and disgust. While reading faces is something bipolar patients often feel they're struggling with, the study showed that the 10 patients' interpretations were as accurate and speedy as the 10 controls'. Crucially, however, their method of processing was different...
...practice, reasonable doubt may make convictions too easy. At least half a dozen studies have found that when the prosecution's case isn't airtight, juries often interpret "beyond a reasonable doubt" to mean, in effect, probably guilty. In one study, prospective jurors said they would be willing to convict on a 60% chance that the suspect had committed the crime. The problem: it's that word, doubt. In a criminal case, prosecutors have the sole burden of proof. Yet the way most courts define "beyond a reasonable doubt" seems to place the burden on the defendant to show...
...complex. Mainstream treatments of today were often on the dangerous fringe list 20 years ago. Aggressive advancement is the hallmark of American medicine.

If you do enough MRIs or blood tests, for example, you're bound to find something that's off - and that means getting still more tests. New treatments directed against minor problems, or yielding minor improvements, can be major new expenses. Wrist arthroscopy, a high-tech newcomer to my field, seems...
...very real effects of racism. But I do mean to belittle people who see me as nothing more than the progeny of slaves. The black puritanical view turns black people from active agents into helpless targets, and seeks to deny us the ability to look at our condition and interpret it as we will. I've heard nigger used as an honorific, an insult, a verb and even an interjection. I get a warm feeling every time I hear someone come up with a new way to deploy...
...humiliating, and hard not to interpret this as a collective punishment against Palestinians. First, I walk into a long, wire mesh cage that runs along a 20-ft.-high concrete wall which, on the Palestinian side, is smeared with graffiti. On the wall, someone has painted a big pair of scissors as if to say: Cut along the dotted Line. If only it were that easy...
