IMHO, that's straw-grasping, Doug. Much like saying it's a relief there aren't Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Jesus, talk about burying your lead. Stelazine?! That's a bit more than an "antianxiety" drug, as one web source notes: "Trifluoperazine ( Stelazine ) is an anti psychotic drug of high-potency. Used in the treatment of disorganized and psychotic thinking. Also used to help treat false perceptions (e.g. hallucinations or delusions.)" Too bad JFK wasn't taking the stuff a couple of months earlier, during the Cuban Missile Crisis ;-)

"Great article. There was also an excellent piece in the NY Times today (below) about the growing sense of alienation being experienced by middle-aged white-collar New Yorkers due to prolonged economic weakness. I can personally certify that long-term unemployment is both a consciousness-raising and ego-razing experience."
