A patient's journey: our special girl
The bad news: experiences with doctors we would like to have missed Our GP paediatrician (in Germany the family doctor for children is a paediatrician) was caring but appeared uncertain and anxious. On the one hand, I had to save Mathilda from unnecessary diagnostic tests, often saying \"no\" and \"why?\" On the other hand, I had to ensure that she received everything she needed. We disputed issues around quality of life with a representative who had never met Mathilda but was sure that her quality of life was unaffected. To be protected from specialists who propose more and more tests but cannot admit they do not know what is wrong To accept that we don't have a diagnosis and will probably never have one To have the opportunity to try a treatment, even though there is no evidence for its efficacy To clarify my own role as doctor, co-therapist, or mother To be taken seriously and treated with respect To shift from the focus on pathology and abnormality to Mathilda's health and to the positive aspects of her life And her father?

Wartime Kiss
Wartime Kissis a personal meditation on the haunting power of American photographs and films from World War II and the later 1940s. Starting with a stunning reinterpretation of one of the most famous photos of all time, Alfred Eisenstaedt's image of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square on V-J Day, Alexander Nemerov goes on to examine an array of mostly forgotten images and movie episodes--from a photo of Jimmy Stewart and Olivia de Havilland lying on a picnic blanket in the Santa Barbara hills to scenes from such films asTwelve O'Clock HighandHold Back the Dawn. Erotically charged and bearing traces of trauma even when they seem far removed from the war, these photos and scenes seem to hold out the promise of a palpable and emotional connection to those years.
Through a series of fascinating stories, Nemerov reveals the surprising background of these bits of film and discovers unexpected connections between the war and Hollywood, from an obsession with aviation to Anne Frank's love of the movies. Beautifully written and illustrated,Wartime Kissvividly evokes a world in which Margaret Bourke-White could follow a heroic assignment photographing a B-17 bombing mission over Tunis with a job in Hollywood documenting the filming of a war movie. Ultimately this is a book about history as a sensuous experience, a work as mysterious, indescribable, and affecting as a novel by W. G. Sebald.

Inside Washington
The chamber blames an obscure Golden State disclosure law for its lack of involvement in such ballot initiatives as Proposition 23, which would freeze the state's landmark climate-change law. Staffers to such soft-spoken Republicans as Lamar Smith of Texas, in line to chair the Judiciary Committee, and John Kline of Minnesota, in line to head the Education and Labor Committee, aren't even willing to admit that the Republicans are likely to win control of the House.
