Angels in the Trenches: British Soldiers and Miracles in the First World War

In their interactions with the soldiers during the First World War the British military chaplains were afforded the opportunity to see the Christian body in microcosm. The chaplains’ frontline experiences shaped their positions on popular religion and the sincerity of Christian belief and practice amongst Britain’s youth. A comparative assessment of clerical responses to soldiers’ claims of the miraculous not only demonstrates a critical divide in clerical understanding of the supernatural – a divide which is more appropriately separated along theological rather than denominational lines. It also indicates that many of the differences between Catholic and Protestant evaluations of popular religion were, fundamentally, differences of clerical perception rather than popular practice and belief.

Overview of the Designer Drug Ecstasy

© One major class of designer drugs is the amphetamine analogs. Ecstasy [3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)] is an amphetamine analog. Amphetamine analogs are categorized as “designer drugs” because “street” chemists design and synthesize them to mimic the central nervous system (CNS) and hallucinogenic effects of other illicit (controlled) drugs. Changes to the chemical structure allow the newly synthesized drugs to escape regulation until the legal authorities discover their existence. Once recognized as having no medicinal purpose and a high potential for abuse, amphetamine analogs are primarily scheduled as Class I drugs in most countries. Ecstasy is taken orally in doses from 100 to 150 mg. The first patent for MDMA was in 1914 as an appetite suppressant for soldiers in World War I. Additional therapeutic purposes include psychotherapy aid, treatment of terminal cancer patients to relieve pain and emotional stress, and treatment of patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Ecstasy is abused for its psychoactive and hallucinogenic effects, the latter being less intense than LSD or mescaline. According to the 2001 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, an estimated 8.1 million (3.6%) Americans age 12 or older tried MDMA at least once in their lifetimes, up from 6.5 million (2.9%) in 2000. Desired effects of MDMA are summarized in T1. Known as an entactogen, MDMA promotes enhanced sociability, affability, and a feeling of closeness. As illustrated by magnetic resonance imaging, MDMA causes longterm damage to serotonin-containing neurons in the brain, which can adversely affect emotions, memory, sleep, pain, and higher order cognitive processes.

Camembert: a national myth

Camembert--delectably fragrant, creamy-centered, neatly boxed--is the most popular and most famous French cheese. Originally made by hand in the Norman countryside, it is now mass-produced internationally, yet Camembert remains a national symbol for France, emblematic of its cultural identity. In this witty and entertaining book, Pierre Boisard investigates the history of Camembert and its legend. He considers the transformation of France's cheese-making industry and along the way gives a highly selective, yet richly detailed history of France--from the Revolution to the European Union. Camembert: A National Myth weaves together culinary and social history in a fascinating tale about the changing nature of food with implications for every modern consumer. As the legend goes, by coincidence, grand design, or clever marketing, the birth of Camembert corresponds almost exactly in time with the birth of the French republic. In this book, republicans and Bonapartists, revolutionaries and priests are reconciled over the contents of a little round box, originating a great myth and a great nation. The story of the cheese's growing fame features Napoleon, Louis Pasteur, the soldiers of the First World War, and many others. Beneath this intriguing story, however, runs a grittier tale about the history of food production. We learn, for example, how Camembert became white--a topic that becomes a metaphor for the sanitation of the countryside--and how Americans discovered the secrets of its production. As he describes the transformation of the Camembert industry and the changing quality of the cheese itself, Boisard reveals what we stand to lose from industrialization, the hallmark of the past century. Today, small producers of raw-milk, ladle-molded Camembert are fighting to keep their tradition alive. Boisard brings us to a new appreciation of the sensual appeal of a lovely cheese and whets the appetite for a taste of the authentic product.

Shell Shock: Traumatic Neurosis and the British Soldiers of the First World War (review)

Peter Leese's study of Britain's Great War "shell-shock" experience is well founded on an impressive body of primary documents; in particular, Leese makes good use of illustrative anecdotes and arcane notations found in medical case notes to elucidate patterns. He draws, as well, from a wide array of periodical literature, memoirs, medical journals and histories, and solid secondary sources on England's war experience, military medicine, war literature, and cultural contexts. The bibliography will captivate and guide newcomers to the field, and even experienced students of war neuroses may find a new lead or two.

Japanese Americans at Dachau: Intercultural Exchange in the US Tour of The Gate of Heaven

The Gate of Heaven, which toured the United States for two years marking the 50th anniversary of the Dachau concentration camp liberation and commemorating the heroism of Japanese-American soldiers in World War II, imagines the friendship between a Japanese-American veteran and the Holocaust survivor he saves at the gates of Dachau in 1945. While the playwright-performers set out simply to celebrate their family histories – Lane Nishikawa is a third-generation Japanese American and Victor Talmadge lost many relatives in the Holocaust – the commemorative politics they encountered at each stop on the tour transformed the meaning of their play. A reconstruction of the social framework the play encountered at four venues, including the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Old Globe Theatre in southern California, demonstrates the malleable nature of race relations in America and the instability of Holocaust representation.

James Barrett Brown (1899-1971), head and neck surgeon of a half century ago.

This article summarizes the life and work of James Barrett Brown, MD (1899-1971), a plastic surgeon from St Louis, Mo, whose many contributions to the knowledge of surgery include his pioneering use of large split-thickness skin grafts to resurface defects. Along with a coauthor, he published an excellent book on radical neck dissection in 1954 (Neck Dissections, published by Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, Ill). Brown was a leading figure in the organization of high-quality plastic surgical care to injured soldiers in World War II. His training program in plastic surgery at Barnes Hospital in St Louis provided education to many leaders in the field. He received a number of honors for his many accomplishments.

Americans all!: foreign-born soldiers in World War I

During World War I, nearly half a million immigrant draftees from 46 different nations served in the US Army. This surge of Old World soldiers challenged the American military's cultural, linguistic and religious traditions and required military leaders to reconsider their training methods for the foreign-born troops. How did the US War Department integrate this diverse group into a united fighting force? The war department drew on the experiences of progressive social welfare reformers, who worked with immigrants in urban settlement houses, and they listened to industrial efficiency experts, who connected combat performance to morale and personnel management. Perhaps most significantly, the military enlisted the help of ethnic community leaders, who assisted in training, socialising and Americanising immigrant troops and who pressured the military to recognize and meet the important cultural and religious needs of the ethnic soldiers. Nancy Gentile Ford's research seeks to illuminate what it meant for the US military to re-examine early-20th-century nativism; instead of forcing soldiers into a melting pot, war department policies created an atmosphere that made both American and ethnic pride acceptable.
