Holden Caulfield, his most enduring fictional creation, fantasized about being a deaf-mute and living in a cabin by the edge of a forest, passing notes to his deaf-mute spouse. Be careful what you wish for, the daughter suggests.

The June 11 front-page article ("Prozac: Science, money drive a makeover") by Mitchell Zuckoff is a great example of journalism at its best. I had no particular interest in Prozac, but the introductory paragraph lured me right in, and I was glad it did.

I have never seen a better job of maintaining reader interest while at the same time explaining with great clarity a very complicated subject - and presenting all sides of the situation in a fair and unbiased manner.
