novapsycheI'm so glad to be back in SE Michigan. I'd forgotten how informative Canadian news can be.
The National is a great show. Tonight it had an extensive segment on meditation and its effects on the brain. A neurosurgeon was a significant portion of the story, as were Tibetan monks. I managed to record this. I think it will be very helpful to review.
Also on the National was a story about the coffin photo controversy. Their assessment of the situation seemed on-point to me. They interviewed people at the Vietnam memorial who said that they felt the photos were respectful and were a symbol of sacrifice. They--the National--correctly recognized that the symbol was a powerful one that Washington did not want shown to the American public.
