Book of the Month... March 2003 |
by Bert Gottlieb and Thomas J. Mawn, M.D.
"Prostate cancer for men, like breast cancer for women, has very serious psychological as well as physical ramifications. One author of this candid book is the patient suffering from the disease. His account of his diagnosis, treatment over two years, and eventual cure is touching, profane, and often uproarious as it evokes the physical and emotional rollercoaster engendered by this illness. The second author is the patient's doctor. His observations, alternating chronologically with those of the patient, record each examination and consultation, and include his clinical and humane observations as the disease takes its course. The result is a comprehensive understanding of the psychological, the physical, and the clinical aspects of prostate cancer.

GUEST ARTICLE... by Glenn Sacks
In Defense of David Harris
A murder trial recently concluded in Texas wherein a woman who killed her husband was defended by the husband's own mother, brother and father, who explained that, aside from what might be described as some unpleasantness on a bad day, the woman is really a good, law-abiding person.

Men and the Military
I have been struggling this whole past year with the question of how does a healthy, initiated man respond to the call for war. How does he respond as a combatant. How does he respond as an elder who may be asked to guide a young soldier.

Manly Virtues:
Becoming the Men Who Make Women Feel Perfectly Safe
It was hard to deny their denunciation of all things male because, spurious studies of ideological origin aside, on the face of it so much of what they claim appeared to be true. Virtually all prosecuted criminals are men. For millennia, men have taken up arms to make war. Men murder, fight, rape, create and lead oppressive regimes. Men level mountains, pave over forests, year-after-year American men don orange garb and, armed with rifles and beer, tramp out into the woods to kill Bambi. Indeed, testosterone became all but synonymous with poison.

JEFF'S LIFE... monthly column by Jeff Stimpson
On Alert
For the first time since it established the color-code system of grading alerts for possible terrorism, the government has issued a list for home preparedness in the event of biological or chemical attack. I haven't seen it -- I printed one but I can't find it -- but I believe the bulk of the list is similar to preparedness lists for snowstorms: food, bottled water, candles, batteries, radios, flashlights, extra clothing, Band Aids (that last item sort of reminding me of our whole Terror Alert System).

COYOTE... monthly column by Dick Prosapio
Duck or Shop?
I lived in Chicago during World War ll. and we were kept on alert from 1942 until late '44 by air raid drills. I know, it sounds ridiculous doesn't it? Were the Germans really going to manage to fly all the way from Europe to Mid America to drop incendiary bombs on South Chicago neighborhoods? Well, they, those running the show at the top, said we had to be prepared, so we had drills. This wasn't like the Blitz in England you understand and it sounds utterly crazy now, but this is what they did. Every now and then, and I can't tell you how often, but maybe every two months or so, a small plane would fly over our neighborhood and drop a cardboard cylinder with a paper streamer attached. The color of the streamer told you what kind of bomb had been dropped and, thus, what kind of action we had to take.

THE NEW INTIMACY... monthly column by Judith Sherven, Ph.D. and James Sniechowski, Ph.D.
What Does She Want From Me?
We're going to let you in on a closely guarded secret. Why? Because for too long men have been seen as the problem in relationships. The myth is that women are the ones who are emotionally available and skilled with intimacy. It's simply not true. Women are just as limited and confused about love as men. In fact, many if not most women are allergic to genuine love, preferring instead the fantasy of "true romance."
