Summary

Alice Miller was a Swiss thinker and psychoanalyst. Her book The Drama of the Gifted Child describes depression as the result of a person's suppression/repression of their emotions due, according to her, to a parent in childhood making that necessary. I think there's something to her theory, though her view of parents is pretty dark in general. To her they must be evil to do that, I guess. So they're all evil. Anyway, for all the sensation she seemed to cause back around 1981, I don't see her thoughts represented in modern theories of depression. What happened?

Gettysburg Address, The by Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865) LibriVox It was a cloudy November day in 1863 when thousands gathered to hear renowned orator Edward Everett dedicate a national cemetery at the site of a pivotal battle early in July of that year. Also present to deliver "a few appropriate remarks" was the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln spoke but 278 words; Everett later wrote to the President, "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes." Though there are surviving transcripts of Everett's lengthy speech, it is Lincoln's words which have come to be known as "The Gettysburg Address" (Summary by Chip)
