But it has to be now, before it?s too late.” The US department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1 847 veterans die each day.
Beers and the other volunteers are collecting the I-was-there details. One of the most moving came from a World War II POW: “he had to march 500 miles through the Black Forest in winter. They ate bark soup and slept at local farms.”
The WWII generation comprises (包含) most the 700 histories gathered since the program began in 2001. But，says director Ellen Lovell, they want to hear from vets of every war. “I interviewed my brother-in-law, an army surgeon (外科医生) in Vietnam,” she says. “He said he shared things with me that he?s never told anyone.”

In a story published this month in the magazine Pediatrics, researchers tracked a group of young school children?s behavior. “Smoking within 30 days of the start of the study did predict 预言being depressed a year later,” says Elizabeth Goodman of Children?s Hospital Medial Center in Cincinnati. Teens who smoked were almost four times as likely to be depressed a year later as their nonsmoking classmates. Unexpectedly, the study also shows that nonsmokers who were depressed at the beginning of the study were no more likely to be smokers a year later than their happier classmates.
Though links between depression and smoking remain unclear, the study?s authors say nicotine 尼古丁and other tobacco byproducts may change brain chemistry. That finding is supported by the fact that anti-depression drugs can be helpful in helping people give up smoking.
The study suggests that teen smoking is a serious mental health problem, the authors say. “Smoking isn?t bad for children just because it gets them sick 50 years later,” says coauthor John Capitman of Brandeis University. “It has a bad effect on them in the near future.”
