Week 37: Sept. 15, 1967 The man on this week’s cover, Nguyen Van Thieu, had just been elected President of South Vietnam — and his victory represented more than just a change of power in the war-torn nation.

When We Call Little Girls 'Fat,' We Kill Their Dreams
“She’s fat,” my daughter’s 8-year-old friend said in her sweet voice as she hopped into our car. She was referring to another 8-year-old. I peered into the rear-view-mirror to see the friend’s innocent grin. It was as if this cute little girl had unknowingly clasped my throat with her second grade hands. I choked. I knew I had strong feelings about body image. I knew that I hated the word “fat.” But I didn’t know how those words “she’s fat” could yank me so rapidly and securely back to a painful throb in my thighs, my butt, my boobs, my waste, my cheekbones....

The Teacher Just Called And I'm Blaming My Dead Husband
One of my son’s teachers just called. My son goes to a relatively small public high school with a lot of teacher-parent communication, but still, when a teacher calls, it’s never really a good thing ―  you know what I mean? My husband died in January and the kids and I seem to be tiptoeing across a field of landmines every day, never knowing what to expect when we step out of bed each morning. But I have developed a pattern of reaction: Whatever pile of bad news I step in, I find a way to blame my dead husband. Like when I went to the supermarket and forgot to buy the plump chicken breasts that...

Does EMS Need a Name Change?
There's much discussion within, and among, several prominent EMS organizations and associations around the country, as well as the National EMS Advisory Council, that the EMS industry has grown into its own healthcare discipline, with several sub-domains, and it's time we redefine ourselves as an industry and modify the nomenclature we use to describe ourselves. Proponents of this idea believe that EMS and 9-1-1 response is just one aspect of what we do. We also provide community paramedicine services, preventive healthcare screenings, mass gathering care, non-emergent medical transportation and specialty care transport se...

The Next Total Solar Eclipse: Everything You Need to Know
For the first time in U.S. history, a total solar eclipse that crosses the country from coast to coast will be visible only in America. The rare celestial spectacle in August has been dubbed “The Great American Eclipse.” The moon will completely block the sun, momentarily engulfing parts of about a dozen states in sudden darkness, on Aug. 21, 2017, experts say. No one outside the continental U.S. will be able to see the eclipse, which makes landfall on the West Coast near Salem, Ore. and continues diagonally across the country until it hits Columbia, S.C. In addition to being the first total solar eclipse with...
