Morris Chafetz, 87, Dies; Altered View of Alcoholism
By WILLIAM GRIMES
Mr. Chafetz played an important role in changing the perception of alcoholism from social crime or personal failing to a disease requiring treatment.
For some there is no moderation.

"Hardly the sort of thing that one would expect to shake up the whole national debate. Yet it has — which can only mean one thing: the emperor was naked, and all it took was one honest voice to point it out."
"There was the embrace of “expansionary austerity”, which has fared even worse than Berman says — it’s not just think tanks like CBPP that have torn holes in the doctrine, it’s the Congressional Research Service and the IMF, yes, the IMF."
"As for how the emperor got that naked: read Ari Berman’s article on the austerity class, and its dominance in Washington."
