FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel (Innocence Lost, An Ordinary Crime) investigates the conviction of four Navy sailors for the rape and murder of a Norfolk, Va., woman in 1997. In interviews with the sailors, Bikel learns of some of the high-pressure police interrogation techniques — including the threat of the death penalty, sleep deprivation, and intimidation — that led each of the “Norfolk Four” to confess, despite a lack of evidence linking them to the crime. All four sailors are now out of prison — one served his sentence and the other three were granted conditional pardons last summer — but the men were not exonerated as felons or sex offenders. The case raises disturb...

This question came from a middle-aged caregiver who called Pope Institute seeking help for her mom to continue to age at home. She was married, degreed (as all of my middle aged clients have been), and she was on a mission. Among her many background focused questions, she asked me what was my motivation in starting Pope Institute. I must admit, that was a first from anyone other than an interviewer. I find it an easy question to answer. You see, everyone in “elder care” has a motivation: a sick parent prompts someone with no health or elder care experience to enter the market or a professional with many years of experience in the industry feels compelled to “d...

Just go to the “FRONTLINE” Web site for the episode of the Medicated Child. There you will find a wealth of information and can watch the entire program. “FRONTLINE” is one of the best programs on TV today and I recommend it highly. Here are the first two paragraphs verbatim from the introduction page of this show’s Web site: In recent years, there’s been a dramatic increase in the...

Perhaps they think everyone is paying attention to those fast-as-lightning disclaimers announced at the tail end of TV ads.
