The soul of a new disease
Article Abstract:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome involves muscle pain, sleep disturbances and mood changes, as well as fatigue. The condition was once called neurasthenia, and later known as myalgic encephalomyelitis. The problems appear to arise from the nervous system, since the muscles appear normal. Cognitive behavior therapy can help some people with the condition, since it involves changes in perception about what sufferers are able to do. Sleep disruption can be linked to fatigue, and can be treated with melatonin.

Darwin revisited
Article Abstract:
Recent revelations of eugenic sterilization in Sweden, Switzerland and Canada have unfortunately been used to discredit Darwinism, though the association is nonsensical. The study of evolution can cast a great deal of light on human nature, though not on the study of moral philosophy.
