Some Nobel Prizes have gone to discoveries that turned out to be wrong. The 1926 Nobel Prize in Medicine went to Johannes Fibiger for the discovery that roundworms cause cancer (they don't). A year later, psychiatrist Julius Wagner-Jauregg won for injecting patients with malaria to treat syphilitic dementia (not a good idea). Past laureates have espoused eugenics, opposed public school, joined the Nazi party and claimed that the Sept. 11 attacks were an inside job. But the majority of prizes have reflected sound discoveries (X-rays, quantum physics, penicillin) and respected leaders (Martin Luther King, Albert Einstein, Nelson...
...whimsical WALL-E?style adventure or a cutesy Disney cartoon. Part documentary and part memoir, it details Folman's odyssey to retrieve the lost memories of his youth as a bewildered soldier under fire in Beirut during the 1982 Lebanon war. Through flashbacks, visits to a psychiatrist and stories told by old war buddies, Folman's animated self follows his real-life quest to remember what happened.

Many had at least one parent in jail. One big hole in the safety net, said Dr. Jane Theobald, an Omaha psychiatrist and representative for the Nebraska Psychiatric Association, is that there are simply not enough facilities for troubled youngsters. A teenager who attempts suicide might stay at a general hospital for days, waiting for an opening in a mental-health facility that may or may not come. "I've sent kids...
...still isn’t as old or insane as he would need to be to have completed so many specialty courses in medical school. A ripe, obnoxiously saucy bachelor at middle age, House is somehow a cardiologist, epidemiologist, radiologist, neurologist, orthopedic surgeon, dermatologist, endocrinologist, pulmonologist, gynecologist, and psychiatrist, in addition to being versed in a few other specialties, sprinkled in for good measure. There is no other way to put it; the show is completely unrealistic. Noah Wyle may be a pretty boy, but after years of watching television, I would much rather have him taking care...
