    Hey everybody!


    The December 6, 2004 Issue of U.S. News & World Report has an interesting article about phobias entitled 'Conquering Our Phobias'!! (Emet is not mentioned but specific phobias are.) My dad saw it in the dentist's office and swiped it for me...hehe.


    Anyway, I don't know if there is any way to get access to the article online, but I went to the magazine website and found only a teenyarticle preview and basic information about the article,which I have included below. There is also a link to the website at the end of my post in case any of you want to purchase thearticle or magazineoranything. I am going to do my best to try to get the article on here for all of us to read. I might have to scan it or something, I'll have to figurethat partout...but until then:



    You may purchase any of the archive records below:

    By the way, the magazine cover has a huge tarantula on it and 'PHOBIAS' in bold, you can't miss it.


    Also Sage, Louise, John, I know that this probably belongs in the 'News Items' section of the forum, but I just wanted to make sure everyone saw the post! You guys can move it there if you want!Edited by: NCsmile6
