...model patient when he came to the office for follow-up. He claimed (perhaps a tiny bit evasively) that he didn't have nightmares and that he couldn't recall anything weird about the night we fixed his arm. Versed does cause amnesia - sometimes. But I like to think it was something already in there, more mysterious and far more powerful, that brought Sasha's head back to earth...
...very good article on Denmark. He noted that the country's per capita income trails that of the U.S., but salaries here tend to be higher than those in Britain. And while it might be easier to fire a worker in Denmark than elsewhere in Europe, companies must follow strict rules that require advance notice of termination. Fox was correct in observing that most workers assume more responsibility than do their fellow Europeans. I have been a resident of Denmark since 1989, and I have no desire to return to Britain.

...college admissions.”While the available descriptions of the Beyond Ranking campaign leaves some important questions up in the air—qualitative comparisons, for instance, might lose some validity if underwritten by the schools themselves—this effort is worthy of support.

Of course, much of the data...
...That won't happen this year. If the Oscars follow the critics' prizes, there won't be a hit film among them - not even the hits that reviewers loved. Disney's megahit comedy Enchanted has the highest rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the critics' polling site, but I barely heard the film mentioned at the New York voting today. Dozens of scribes raved about the smash comedies Knocked Up and Superbad, but neither film has won a critics' prize. The comedy they love now is Juno, which came out last week...
...Golden Globes and the Oscars, if they follow the critics' lead, will have V.D.D. - viewer deficit disorder. Large numbers of people won't watch shows paying tribute to movies they haven't seen. In the old Golden Age days, most contenders for the top Oscars were popular movies that had a little art. Now they're art films that have a little, very little, popularity. The serious movies Hollywood gives awards to in January and February are precisely the kind it avoids making for most of the year. The Oscars are largely an affirmative action program, where the industry scratches...
