- 15605: Self-Esteem
- ... article by Sharon Begley in the July 13, 1998 issue of Newsweek entitled "You're OK, I'm Terrific; 'Self-Esteem' Backfires" talks about one of the possible problems with instilling self-esteem in today's youth: violence. The article proposes that "narcissists are super sensitive to criticism and slights, because deep down they suspect that their feeling of superiority is build on quicksand." I agree with the article that "unjustified ... think fits the definition of a narcissist and chances are that person overreact to insults and criticism.

- 15609: Medical Uses Of Marijuana
- ... prolegalization National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) petitioned the DEA to reschedule marijuana for review again in 1992. Denying this petition, DEA Administrator Robert Bonner wrote in the Federal Register, "Our nation's top cancer experts reject marijuana for medical use." To support his claim, he cited the testimony of David S. Ettinger, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and "nationally respected cancer expert," who said: "There is no indication that marijuana is effective in treating nausea and vomiting resulting from radiation treatment or other causes.
