...fact, McCain has spent the majority of his life living with the physical disabilities and the mental trauma he suffered as a young Navy pilot. When his plane was shot down over Hanoi in 1967, McCain broke both his arms and his right leg at the knee. He was stabbed twice by a bayonet, had his shoulder smashed by a rifle butt and endured the angry kicks and punches of the mob that discovered him. Those injuries, along with the more calculated torture that followed during 5½ years of captivity, left him unable to raise either arm more than...

Reconciliation and reconstruction is the sole agenda that the voting public cares about. It'll be up to the country's garlanded leaders to deliver...
Victims of mental illness have Frank Ayd to thank for his pioneering work in psychopharmacology: his discovery that chlorpromazine, also known as Thorazine, could be used to treat schizophrenia provided an alternative for those who otherwise might have been subjected to the trauma of a lobotomy. While Ayd recognized the power of antipsychotic medications, he also believed they could never replace other forms of care.
