John Cloud is a staff writer for Time magazine, where he has worked since 1997. Before coming to Time, he was a senior writer at Washington City Paper. He wrote this week’s much-discussed Timecover story about Ann Coulter.
Brian Montopoli: First things first: Why did you write the story? Did you pitch it, or did the editors come to you and say, “We want to do a cover on Ann Coulter?”
John Cloud: Last summer, you know, we put Michael Moore on the cover. And, by the way, at that time we didn’t get quite the reaction, certainly not from the left, which seemed rather pleased with the cover we did on Michael Moore. You get it from both sides.
As for how the story got suggested, I suggested it after the election. Ann Coulter [it seemed to me] had epitomized the way politics was discussed last year during the election. It was slash-and-burn, on both sides. Her side won, rather decisively, and it seemed the right time to figure out who was this force behind the way our political dialogue was being conducted. Ann Coulter is the person who is shaping the tone of this dialogue in many ways, and I thought it was time to examine her.

Time Magazine: Happiness is Not Normal (2006)
These thoughts are in bullet point form from a power point presentation by James Herbert at Drexel University.
He gave this talk at the ACT Summer Institute at La Salle University in summer of 2005.
I've (SCH) tweaked it to make it more readable and understandable in this form.
Is ACT Just a Fad or a Cult? Addressing the Critics
James D. Herbert, Ph.D.
Drexel University
As ACT has moved into the mainstream, a variety of criticisms have emerged from within the academic community.
- As ACT becomes more popular, we can anticipate even more criticism from even more voices. The common theme is that
- ACT is merely the latest therapeutic fad to litter the mental health landscape.
