The best local newspaper is free. Independent Weekly is excellent every week, but today, you have to read these two articles:
Godfrey Cheshire: Five years later: We're defeating ourselves
Bob Geary: In America, terror goes both ways
After ten long years, the serious countdown has begun for the publication of my book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, which will be on sale nationwide exactly SEVEN DAYS from today. I've been posting about my impending book tour, and all the great coverage the book has been getting, on…
What is the world coming to?
title="Am J Psychiatry">AJP
has an article about "intensive" therapy for bipolar disorder.
Their definition of intensive? Thirty sessions over
a
period of nine months.
Back in the day, when you could struggle to stay awake during a seminar
when people read…
Yes, that David Gilmour.
Anyways, there was a post on Gilmour's blog a few months ago that provoked quite a little storm: Chopping up albums.
Basically, the point Gilmour makes is that many albums are really meant to be listened to as a whole and shouldn't be split into individual tracks at record…
I'm glad that Elizabeth Edwards is facing her cancer with optimism. A close relative of mine is similarly dealing with an "incurable" malignancy and has entered year 3 with no sign of recurrance. I hope she can have many more years of good health.
Still, I am bothered by one remark she made in that interview, as follows:
John was a terrific trial lawyer, Elizabeth said, because he's got a good heart and juries knew it�and because he could explain complex cases to them without talking down or bending the truth. "He's completely truthful," she said. "And that's exactly the quality we're lacking in the White House right now."
How does this square with John Edwards' "channeling" of a Baby afflicted with cerebral palsy during one of his successful trials?
I know this sounds like a cheap shot, but as an MD, I can't help but take this stuff personally.
The 'channeling' is a Republican frame (which did Lauch Faircloth no good in 1998).
He was showing the jury EKG tapes and telling them minute by minute what was happening and guessing how it must have felt to the fetus. Read his "Four Trials" book to see the most detailed and comprehensive coverage of that particular case, and be more discerning in the future when you hear something that is likely invented at the Heritage Institute, not in reality.
I think you mean a great interview with Ed Schultz, with newspaper coverage by the Indy's Bob Geary.
Yes, but I was too busy and distracted to fix it. Maybe I will one day....
