...qualities as a work of art history, however, it lacks credibility as a work of social theory. The book begins with a comment on a photograph of the mutilated body of an anonymous Haitian in Port au Prince in 1994. At the end of the book, Groebner revisits the framework of modernity with insights about the media driven obsession with anonymity and gory coverage of current events in the news. But he never convincingly substantiates the link between violence in medieval culture and contemporary fetishization of the gruesome. His myriad examples of medieval brutality serve to illuminate a variety...
...conference, there were tantalizing hints that the DSM-V might fix some of these problems. Dr. Steven Hyman, provost of Harvard, a former psychiatry professor at its medical school and a former director of the National Institute of Mental Health, agitated at the meeting for a new DSM framework that would stop trying to divide mental problems into discrete all-or-nothing categories.

With that framework, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Rhode Island and North Dakota were rated among states that dealt best with the problem overall. At the bottom of the list: Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, New Mexico and Louisiana...
...first year in office of Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev has marked an almost seamless continuity with the policies of his predecessor, Vladimir Putin - who is serving as prime minister until a legal framework is created to allow him to run, once again, for president. But in one potentially important respect, Medvedev is quite different from Putin: A former lawyer, the current president has spoken publicly and frequently about judicial reform to ensure fairness and end what he has referred to as "legal nihilism." Medvedev's promises of reform, if honored, could make a substantial difference to the fate...
