...role nutrition plays in bipolar disorder? With all the sweets and soft drinks children consume, it's hardly a surprise that they're running around in circles. I see kids as young as 9 frequenting the espresso carts that are on nearly every corner in my town. No wonder aggressive behavior is so prevalent.

...agree that some values are not just a matter of opinion. The faithful talk of a spiritual revival, even though the pollsters say that moment has passed; if we are on a spiritual journey, it does not necessarily pass through a sanctuary, and clerics from coast to coast must wonder whether they missed an opportunity they never expected to have, when they were flooded with people searching for answers but who, after waiting a few weeks, went looking elsewhere...

Beidaihe is where top Communist Party leaders hold their annual summer retreat, and that first abortive Woodstock was scheduled to begin just after those meetings concluded.

In the 30 years from 1950 to 1980 (the latest period for which there is reliable information), the annual suicide rate among college-age women has almost doubled, from 3.9 deaths per 100,000 to 7.0 per 100,000, while the rate among college-age men has tripled, from 10 per 100,000 to 32 per 100,000 a year. This year's toll for adults ages 19 to 24 is expected to reach 1,000 deaths...
