Dean Parmelee, a leader in TBL, plays a fairly prominent role in "Medicine’s Search for Meaning," http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/18/medicines-search-for-meaning . It is currently the most mailed article from the Times. While TBL isn't the focus, I'm thinking that some might find it of interest. - Bill -- Bill Goffe Senior Lecturer Department of Economics Penn State University 304 Kern Building University Park, PA 16802 814-867-3299 [log in to unmask] http://cook.rfe.org/
