"No Cure and No Solutions: U.S. Has Yet to Address Schizophrenia
Successfully" - The recent arrest of a 29-year-old New York City man with
schizophrenia, who allegedly pushed a young woman to her death in front of a
city subway train, highlights the nation's failure to successfully confront
chronic mental illness and help individuals manage their disease. USA Today,
1/7, p. A3.

This is truly a gruesome and tragic event, and the first story to have a
visceral, as such, effect in this supposedly millenial year.


Cheerio,
