...medicine, and insofar as it delves into causation is likely to remain so: while stress has been shown to compromise the immune system, there's no strong evidence that these changes are significant in the development of cancer. But as a treatment adjunct, psycho- oncology is creeping into the mainstream. Self-help groups for cancer patients at all stages of the disease are common in Australia. But SEGT, the brainchild of American psychiatrist Irvin Yalom, differs from standard group therapy in several ways. Most importantly, a psychiatrist or psychologist leads the 90-min. sessions, working from the original premise...

Mainstream news media need to break loose from the control of party hacks and spinsters and educate the public on what is really happening in the world. The burden of keeping the American public correctly informed should be borne by those entrusted with upholding journalistic standards—not a bunch of comedians writing for The Daily Show...

Both the tone and execution of this album are markedly less new- and jam-grass focused than previously. Instead, this sensibility has been replaced by a considerably more mainstream rock and pop feel that is much less enthralling. It would have been nice to see Thile continue to host other well-known and respected on his solo albums; there’s a kind of team sensibility that goes with good musicians jamming that is absent from this disc. In the end, this is not a bad album, but it fails to excite the way Thile’s previous...
