Steinberg: Athletes Speak might help find solution to concussion problem
A new health epidemic looms on the horizon like a ticking time bomb.

Carnett: Others' histories stand as great inspirations
I was led quite by accident last week to peruse a pair of highly absorbing memoirs. That's the nice thing about being retired.

Carnett: 'Parkies' can support each other
I first saw him one Sunday morning as I exited church. A man in his early 50s, he was carrying boxes to an information table at the back of the church. His hands were trembling in a way that was familiar to me. My heart went out to him. "Look," I...Tags: Diseases and Illnesses, Religion and Belief

The God Squad: Happy Hanukkah for Jews and non-Jews
In the spirit of my life work with Fr. Tom Hartman (who sends his love to all even as he enters the deepest fog of Parkinson's disease), I offer my annual Hanukkah greeting for people who don't celebrate Hanukkah.

My friend and I are more than pals. We've become, well, brothers. It's no different than what I experienced decades ago when I served in the U.S. military and had a number of Army "brothers."
