Psychiatrists divide symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder into three categories. Batchelor, found to have the disorder, fits every bill, including: nightmares and flashbacks; estrangement and emotional numbness; irritability and difficulty sleeping. Every night he fights sleep, knowing it will bring a replay of the day his unit was sent to rescue a patrol that had been ambushed in Sadr City, Baghdad, and fell into a ferocious firefight. "It was like the entire city was shooting at us," Batchelor says, pacing around the room. "I saw the guy shooting at me. He was on a rooftop, and I saw the muzzle...

Jews would recall that Pharaoh's most famous escapee (via those bulrushes) was Moses, who eventually received the Law from God at Sinai. Through the echoing narrative, Matthew was arguing for Jesus...

However, while “Mosh” is sure to get a few extra people to the voting booths next Tuesday, are the kind of people who get their political information from...
