The Dowardward Spiral
Jesse Marx, The Reporter, online edition
Why do some with no hope take others with them to the grave?
A man shot his wife in June near Peoria before turning the gun on himself during a police chase. A woman slayed her three children last month before setting her Staten Island home ablaze and perishing in the fire. The details of murder-suicides across the country have been well-documented in the media. The shooting deaths last week of Larry Harris and Tabatha Oliver in Chicago Ridge, and Bernadette and John Huladek in Oak Lawn are yet another additions to the public record.

Nancy Gier, Chicago Tribune
Psychiatrist Marie Claude Rigaud thinks of her late brother-in-law when she talks about her quest to bolster mental health services in her native Haiti.

PharmVille: Dr. Bob's Web Site
Virginia Heffernan, New York Times, Magazine
Say you start to find social encounters terrifying. Your doctor proposes a medication called phenelzine. Now you have a question: What does phenelzine feel like?
Put the question to Google, and you’ll soon land on a Web site called Psycho-Babble. There are plenty of enlightening and nutty answers about phenelzine there, but Psycho-Babble is likely to prove entrancing for other reasons. A vast and trippy symposium about the human mind has been under way on the site for almost 12 years. The nominal subject is pills. But, overseen by a brilliant and reticent Web mastermind, the conversation mixes technology, neurology, poetry and madness.
