Assembling evidence from brain imaging, genetic research, biological psychiatry and his own clinical work, Kramer attempts to separate the romance of the depressed genius from the fact that "depression is a serious, progressive disease that we need to treat promptly and effectively and persistently."Kramer, the author of five books and a professor of psychiatry at Brown University in Providence, R.I., recently began a stint as the host of the National Public Radio series "The Infinite Mind." He is perhaps best known for helping transform a small green- and cream-colored antidepressant called Prozac into a celebrity pill and a cultural icon.Even without his impressive productivity, he might be famous for simply coining the phrase "cosmetic psychopharmacology" -- the term he used in "Listening to Prozac" to describe the way the drug "gives a normal person a more socially rewarding personality." He observed that after people took Prozac, their careers or romantic attachments improved, in some cases making them feel "better than well."And yet, during the intervening years while focusing on the importance of conquering depression, Kramer said he "picked up, among patients and readers, a sort of subtle protective feeling toward depression."

"They're just trying to hide it again -- like they did years ago when they sent these priests from parish to parish."Zalkin alleges that the San Diego Diocese often allowed priests who had been accused of sexually molesting parishioners elsewhere to transfer to San Diego and then moved them to different parishes when new allegations surfaced.Mary Grant of Long Beach, western regional director of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), said, "Threats of bankruptcy are designed to guilt-trip victims and frighten Catholics so that testimony isn't given, the truth isn't exposed and the church isn't held accountable."SNAP members sought unsuccessfully Monday to meet with Brom.
