Maia Szalavitz argues: "Unlike in any other area of medicine, treatments that reduce pain and suffering, rather than being welcomed as miraculous breakthroughs, often are denigrated as quick fixes. They're viewed as band-aids that cover up, but do not solve, the real problem." But in other areas of medicine, sometimes treatments that could make patients feel better aren't used precisely because they could mask other problems that are potentially life-threatening.

CORRECTION: The article "Antonin Scalia, Judicial Activist" (October) mistakenly referred to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia as the "swing vote" in Gonzales v. Raich; the vote in that case was 6-3. The article also erroneously referred to Justice John Paul Stevens as the "sole dissenter" in Kyllo v. U.S.; he was joined in his dissent by three other justices.
