With its stark, graphic images of injured soldiers and their colleagues who tend to them, the HBO documentary "Baghdad ER" is in many ways a tribute to the brave, tireless doctors at the United States Army's 86th Combat Support Hospital in Iraq. But not all Iraq combat surgeons think the film - which includes images of a soldier being carried from a helicopter, his face burned beyond recognition - is such a good idea. Last week Dr. Joseph Brennan, who is an Air Force Colonel, received an email directed to all Armed Forces medical personnel warning of the potential traumatic effects...

Instead, she has created something all too rare in the medium: a realistic drama for adults told in a straightforward manner. The approach makes sense...
...mistook him for a diffident patrician, an image he seemed to project with his neatly trimmed white hair, bow tie, tweed jacket, gray socks and grandfatherly laugh. In fact, Beck-the son of a Ukrainian socialist father and a "rather dominant" Russian mother, according to Weishaar-is a tireless defender of his therapy. He spoke to me with bemusement about the new wave of therapies. "I don't think you call something a revolution until it's actually happened," he said, chuckling. "You get new, popular approaches that come in, and then they often die out, and they...
