Since ancient Rome, people have believed in the physical and mental healing powers of hot springs, which, in the American South and West, are still popular tourist destinations. U.S. spas promoted mud baths in the 1940s, and the '70s brought in-home saunas and hot tubs. Now comes the next step in the quest for holistic relaxation: salt caves...
...academic/extracurricular/social life is a shambles. It’s hard to get to the games for Harvard’s sports teams or to student arts performances during interminable stretches of midterms and reading period.

Hundreds of thousands of veterans will grapple for the rest of their lives with critical mental health issues brought on by sustained exposure to violence. Millions of Iraqi lives will have been ripped apart, socially and financially. The authority of the United Nations and multilateral institutions to increase international peace, so painstakingly built up by the blood and hopes of our grandparents, will have been severely weakened...
