 The Transom Review: Nancy Updike
Alix: Jefferson Parrish EMS records show that the number of suicides in October this year was the same as in years past, even though the population was significantly diminished.
Then when she plays the tape, and the first thing we hear is this guy saying "I cry every day," and his voice starts to catch, we know that this is a big deal; this is not a man who has been crying every day for his whole life.
If I remember right, the reason Alix did that in the story was that the man she was talking to in "Pray"--who later became a central character--was originally just her liaison to talk to other people.

 Snarkmarket: Who is Robert Spitzer?
Make that, “according to Alix Spiegel, writing for The New Yorker.” The distinction is important, because a cursory Google-fueled traipse through the Internet reveals that Alix Spiegel is Robert Spitzer’s chief (only?) biographer.
And the general impression I get from Spiegel’s characterization of Spitzer is of a somewhat egomaniacal, not-especially-brilliant, browbeating sort of man who happened upon a popular thing (the DSM-as-we-know-it).
That the NY-er article is insufferably boring should not discourage you from listening to Alix Spiegel’s wonderful and fascinating This American Life episode, “81 Words,” or her other TAL episodes, especially “Pray.” And the pronunciation is a-LEEX SHPEE-gull, by the way.

There are specialty theme cruises for people interested in astronomy or cooking classes or ballroom dancing -- or, as Alix Spiegel discovered, one that seems pretty eccentric, but actually touches a chord in Americans across many generations.
Contributor Alix Spiegel, who went on the cruise, made friends with people in curling elfin shoes and Munchkin ties, and reported back to us, explains it this way:

As an update to a previous post on John E. Fryer's dramatic role in getting homosexuality de-listed as a mental illness in 1973, thanks to the reader who emailed to say that the radio programme This American Life has a special on the fascinating story of the people behind the wider campaign.
The programme also charts the personal family story of Alix Spiegel, the producer of the This American Life series, whose grandfather was John Spiegel, president of the American Psychiatric Association when homosexuality was finally removed from the diagnostic manual.
She tells how the issue had a significant impact on psychiatry and society, but also on her family (you'll have to listen to find out why).

 How Homosexuality Was Removed as a Mental Disorder by the American Psychiatric Association
Alix Spiegel in her NPR narrative, titled “81 Words”, discussed two psychiatrists in particular whose research did much to contribute to the widespread impression of homosexuality as a mental illness: Irving Bieber and Charles Socarides.
Spitzer’s recommendations were forwarded to the “Reference Committee”, headed by Alix Siegel’s grandfather, John P. Siegel, whose committee endorsed the change and forwarded it on to the President of the APA, who signed it and made it official.
And incidentally it turned out after the dust settled that John P. Siegel (Alix Siegel’s grandfather) was a gay man (previously closeted), as was Charles Socaride’s son, Richard Socaride, who went on to become President Clinton’s Special Assistant and organizer of the first White House Conference on HIV/AIDS.

Our initial reaction is that Robert Siegel’s remarks—occurring as they did in such a credible media venue—call to mind the misstatements about Reich and the orgone energy accumulator that appeared in the January 3, 2005 edition of
Whether Alix Spiegel’s error-filled “take” on Reich and the orgone energy accumulator had any bearing on Robert Siegel’s remarks is anyone’s guess (while the similarity of their last names makes all of this sound like a bad “Who’s On First?” routine).
Similarly, because of Robert Siegel’s longstanding reputation for intellectual integrity, we give him the benefit of the doubt and do not attribute any malicious intent to him.
