Human resources as intermediary for workers with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
This study explores the limiting factors that affect Human Resources’ (HR) ability to intervene on behalf of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) workers during negative events when the need for an accommodation is suspected The question this study endeavors to answer is: Why should (or should not) HR intervene on behalf of ADHD employees during negative interactions between ADHD employees and management? As this study is exploratory in nature, qualitative data collection in the form of interactive semi-structured interviews was used to collect the richest data possible from 15 HR professionals. Each professional had a minimum 10 years of experience in HR. Comparative analysis was utilized to analyze data after each interview and then again after all data had been collected. The results of data analysis found that, while HR strives to help ADHD employees, their hands are tied by federal and state regulations that prohibit HR from taking steps to voluntarily provide ADHD accommodations. Unfortunately, this places ADHD workers in a precipitous position. Unless the ADHD worker knows exactly what they need, has prepared the required paperwork, has procured the required documentation from a medical or mental health professional, and then self-identifies as having ADHD to HR, there is nothing HR can do to help that worker. Workers who do not have access to much needed accommodations will most likely leave the organization, voluntarily or involuntarily, due to nonperformance issues (Barrilleaux & Advokat, 2009).

Line Items: \Dr. Strangelove\: Check-Up With \Dr. Strangelove\
Southern profiles filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, focusing on his production of his film \"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.\" Various aspects of the movie's production are discussed, such as its huge \"War Room\" set, the concept of a \"doomsday machine,\" and other related topics. Several of Kubrick's other films are mentioned, and his highly-regarded status among American directors is touched upon. This abridged article was originally written for \"Esquire\" in 1963, but not published until 2004 in \"Killed: Great Journalism Too Hot to Print,\" which was edited by David Wallis and published by Nation Books in 2004.

Six-Packers Don't Control All Patriotism
AT THE RISK of being dubbed a \"flag-waving yahoo\" or perhaps \"chauvinist galoot,\" I must confess I sometimes still get a small tingle when I hear a certain passage about halfway through \"The Stars and Stripes Forever.\"

Check-Up With Dr. Strangelove
In 1963, as Stanley Kubrick began production on Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Terry Southern completed a profile of the director for Esquire, which promply shelved it. Earlier this summer it was finally printed in Killed: Great Journalism Too Hot To Print (Nation Books), edited by David Wallis. The abridged version of Southern's article that follows is reprinted on the occasion of Sony Pictures Repertory's 40th anniversary presentation of Dr. Strangelove this fall.
