NPR: The Impact of War Project →
nprfreshair: This Memorial Day, we remember our fallen soldiers. Many have died in combat, but increasingly, for off-duty members of the National Guard and Army Reserves, soldiers are dying by their own hands. Nationally, the number of those who’ve committed suicide has nearly doubled from 80 in 2009 to 145 last year. On Fresh Air: Treating Vets with PTSD  // The History of PTSD //...

Brief thoughts on "Bridesmaids"
As per usual, I saw a film all the blogs I follow were talking about a while ago, but I think it’s nice to throw my couple of pennies into the imaginary ring. I really, really liked this movie.

Out of nowhere, thoughts on "The Runaways"
I’ve been so out of touch with recently released movies (as in, movies made within the past two years) that I can’t remember if “The Runaways” was a big deal or not. If it wasn’t, I’d like to recommend it, to well, everybody. First, the bad. The script is rather lacking, and the dialog can be pretty wooden. It is certainly heightened by the performances of...
