...Americans must scramble to cope with hard times and keep up their hopes that the recession turns out to be no worse than a moderate one.

"We simply cannot go on doing business as usual in so intensely competitive a world," Sinai said. "This downturn may be a catalyst that will wake up the nation." If the recession does help inspire the U.S. to face its long-term economic...
Will the radical measures planned in exile be accepted at home? Rather than propel change, the shock of invasion may hinder it.

She counseled spouses of alcoholics and tried to cope with her husband's drinking until she finally realized that she couldn't stop him; the two eventually divorced. "When I really let him go, I began to see that I could not control the life path of another human being." With this recognition, Beattie hunted for clues to her unhappiness and found codependency, an idea that had existed in relative obscurity in addiction circles since...
Since the days of slavery they have been the very heart of the African American community. Now, the first major scholarly survey of traditional black Protestant congregations since 1933 shows that they must cope not only with social stresses but a growing shortage of trained clergy, and that they have lost their appeal to alienated urban youth. But there are also hopeful signs of change and spiritual renewal...
