...keep up with this energetic if wall-eyed movie, which switches between Dillinger's exploits and the efforts of Hoover (Billy Crudup) and Purvis to track him down. The bureau, still in its infancy, was initially hamstrung by Hoover's insistence that his agents be stouthearted men, not wily, patient predators. Incompetence caused the bungling of more than one stakeout. Some agents also made use of what the bureau called "vigorous physical interviews" - torture during questioning - as if Billie were an al-Qaeda suspect at Guantánamo. (The one gasp from a preview audience exploded when Billie got viciously slapped...
Your article described my efforts to identify mental illness in children. One point I'd like to emphasize is that while my initial interest in families was stimulated by the negative effects certain types of families had on young patients, our current intervention is based on the remarkable strengths families can bring to treatment, rehabilitation and even prevention.

...structure, the same interest-group politics that have distorted and ultimately paralyzed the current system could dominate the new system; that's why Obama has proposed to depoliticize those decisions through an independent agency similar to the military-base-closing commission. Still, changing the dysfunctional payment system while safeguarding patient rights (and perhaps protecting doctors who practice evidence-based medicine from frivolous malpractice suits) would be easier than expanding coverage to the uninsured, transforming the insurance market and figuring out how to pay for it all during a crippling recession. "It's become conventional wisdom that...
