...readers whose first encounter with Lee is Behind My Eyes, the echo of previous work is not necessarily a problem, of course. In fact, first-timers will find the collection a beauty. Lee is capable of dystopian quips ("The garden was ruined long before/ we came to make a world of it") and existentialist shrugs ("Every player eventually dies") - but it's the lack of bitterness that makes his best pieces so moving. In "Living with Her" - reminiscent of Matthew Arnold's classic "Dover Beach" - Lee's wife urges him to come away from the window and simply lie down...
...until he finally said to me, "Has anyone ever mentioned the word 'mania' to you?" And I'm like, "Well, I've heard the word. What are you talking about?"

...figure using data from the 2002 National Comorbidity Survey Replication, a nationally representative study designed to gauge the overall mental health of Americans, and extrapolated it to the general population. Kessler and his colleagues determined that a person suffering from SMI had earned $23,000 on average in the previous year. Those respondents without SMI averaged nearly $40,000. The researchers attributed 75% of that difference to the person's mental illness. The other 25% was attributed to a greater likelihood that a mentally ill person would not have worked at all, thus earning nothing - Kessler says, for example, that...
...also the College's most competitive year yet, with an acceptance rate of only 7.1 percent of a record 27,462 applicants. To avoid overcrowding the freshman class and without the results of previous years to give an idea of what yield would be like in the wake of these changes, 110 fewer students were admitted...
