Ellsberg has helped fulfill his prophecy of mounting stress in the U.S. unless the war ends, a prophecy offered before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last year.

...years together. Now Barnard has announced that he has written a new book, Heart Attack, aimed at "helping the heart sufferer toward a better comprehension of his disease." Simultaneously, Louwtjie announced that she, too, has written a study of heart problems -though ones not necessarily connected with vascular stress. "It's a message of hope to all the women in the world who find themselves in a similar position to mine," she said of her forthcoming autobiography. The title: Heart Break...
