...therapies that work. "For most shoplifters, getting something for nothing is like giving themselves a reward that they feel they deserve," says Peter Berlin, who runs Shoplifters Alternative, a New York--based rehabilitation program. Psychotherapy may help break the habit, as may drugs such as naltrexone, used to treat alcoholics, or antidepressants like Prozac. But the best therapy may be what Ryder got. When 112 repeat shoplifters were asked in a telephone survey what would deter them, their top choice was "prosecution." --With reporting by Jeanne McDowell/Los Angeles
Sheeler was trained as a painter at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts--and throughout his life that is what he chiefly considered himself to be. For the most part, art history tends to treat him the same way. The show of Sheeler's photography that runs at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, through Feb. 2, then moves to New York City, Frankfurt and Detroit, is the first major museum exhibition devoted entirely to his work with a camera. Organized by Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. and Gilles Mora, it's an enjoyable reminder that Sheeler...
...course al-Qaeda is still active and regaining strength. The U.S. cannot win a war against a globally distributed, impassioned enemy.

Someday, if we are lucky, U.S. citizens will take steps to reject the government's shortsighted, arrogant approach and demand changes in our foreign policy. RICK MAROLT Madison...

It is irrational to consider Iraq more dangerous than the rogue state of North Korea or urban terrorism. Let's get to work on matters that affect Americans. As for Iraq, we should treat it as we have been treating Saudi Arabia: buy its oil and protect it from aggression by competing nations. JOHN O'MARA BOCKRIS College Station, Texas
...yellows and greens softly melting into one another. Housed in brushed-aluminum frames, they range from 2 ft. to 6 1/2 ft. long and double as postmodern works of art. But they are more than just pretty lights. Powered by the same fluorescent bulbs used for light therapy (to treat seasonal affective disorder during winter months, for example), the lamps may actually brighten your spirits. And the colored gels can be mixed and matched, so you can choose a yellow-green combination to energize you in the kitchen or a purple-red to get things started in the bedroom. INVENTOR...
