Rather, Hyman argued that many mental illnesses are problems that lie along a continuum from normal and functioning to disordered and tragic. To the annoyance of some old-fashioned DSM defenders, he made the case that the DSM should regard mental illness as "continuous with normal": less like leukemia and more like hypertension. You don't get diagnosed with hypertension until you meet a cutoff point for high blood pressure that takes into account other extenuating factors: your age, for instance, or the conditions under which the blood-pressure reading is taken. Depression should be the same...
...purchase the second largest house in Stratford-on-Avon. That would be an extraordinary amount of money even from a patron who was, as Wells describes him, "very rich and very generous, almost profligate."

For that reason, closures have to be linked with upstate development plans for the same communities, insists Glenn Martin, the aforementioned former Attica inmate, who is now a Fortune Society vice president working to change state and federal policies...
...until recently, only made the headlines when it’s a matter of defective toys and toxic foodstuffs. Although at earlier points in our history we woefully mistreated African Americans and Native Americans, we lecture China about its treatment of Tibet and sell arms to what the Chinese regard as a “break-away” province, Taiwan. We compete with China for natural resources and influence in the developing world. Now, the only reliable component of the equation, economic interdependence, is threatened by the global credit crunch, which is closing off China’s export...
