Would yu happen to know the birth year of Isaac Colbert?
Agreed. I sent her an email saying the same thing. Regardless of how noble
ones ideas may be, this isn't the proper forum. Isn't the list edited, and
such things taken out?

A Talk by Michael Miller
What Do We Do Next?
The Wall of Prayer in New York City, holding photos of people who are
missing in the attack on the World Trade Center
Photo by Louis Kikuchi On the morning of September 11, I was in Washington,
D.C., at a conference sponsored by Newsweek magazine. Newsweek, with some
assistance from Harvard Health Publications, had published a special edition
on September 10, entitled "Living Longer, Living Better," a compendium of
articles describing the current state of knowledge about the biology of
aging and the science of genetics, with information and recommendations for
readers on such topics as fitness and diet, cancer and heart disease, memory
and mood. The conference was interrupted and cancelled after the keynote
speaker finished her address. Living longer and better would have to wait
for another day.
I watched the events unfold on a TV monitor instead of doing what was
planned for that hour. I was supposed to be part of a panel, to talk about
the advantages of an optimistic outlook on life.
This was not the only peculiar juxtaposition.
The evening before, in conversation with a Newsweek editor, we talked about
my family's recent trip to Israel--a pre-bar-mitzvah trip for my son. She
thought we were brave to go. I said it didn't feel that way when we were
there. I had felt safe and I reminded her of the often-stated Israeli risk
assessment, that Israel was safer than New York City. But, she
replied--reminding me of the increasing hostilities in the Middle East--that
comparison probably does not hold today.
Of course, it turned out New York was indeed less safe--but I would have
preferred to be wrong in my risk assessment.
The impact on the survivors at ground zero, as we have seen, is being
studied by traumatologists. How should we think about the impact on those of
us who did not suffer direct losses?
First of all, here in Boston, we are not far removed from this event. I'm
sure I am not different from many of you in the unusual number of
one-degree-of-separation connections to the event. I have a patient whose
niece was on American's flight 11, the first plane to strike the World Trade
Center. A colleague at Beth Israel, his mother-in-law was in one of the
towers. Luckily, she got out. My father-in-law, an accountant in New York,
had two clients with offices at the World Trade Center. One survived, but
lost all her employees. The other client perished.
We're shaken, and this shaking has led to some dramatic statements. One
frequently hears that the world changed on September 11. But has it?
Violence has always been a part of human life. Anyone who considers the
3000-year history of Jerusalem need look no further for both historical and
contemporary evidence of the human propensity to resolve conflicts by
resorting to violence. Yes, this specific type of tragedy is unprecedented.
The cunning of the terrorists was breathtaking, but for sheer numbers, the
tragedy has a great deal of competition. The 20th century was a violent
century with countless wars and tens of millions of violent deaths. It is a
shock, with the hopeful sentiments accompanying a new century and
millennium, to be so soon disabused of our fantasies about a more peaceful
future.
Have we, the people, changed? Our attitudes have swung to a different place,
but the attitude change strikes me as human and normal. There is talk, some
critical, of our having been woken from our complacency. But it is normal to
be complacent in good times. There is medical literature to support this
proposition. Studies about people's health beliefs and health behaviors have
shown that when people don't feel threatened, they tend to underestimate
risks. For example, if you don't feel threatened by colon cancer, you may
underestimate the real risk and not get screened for it routinely. Something
that increases your perception of risk, however--for example, the diagnosis
of cancer in a peer--increases motivation for taking action, like getting
screened, even though the real risk has not changed.
The variation in pre- and post-September 11 attitudes can be understood as a
change in perception, some of it realistic--we know things that we didn't
know before about who is out there and what they are capable of--but some is
unrealistic. Retrospectively, we know we were unrealistically optimistic
before September 11, but there is a danger of becoming unrealistically
pessimistic now.
Our responses as victims and potential victims are normal and
understandable. But, unfortunately, violent action is also, in a sense,
"normal" human behavior. Murderous violence is at one end of the spectrum,
to be sure, but it has always been in the human repertoire. Simply
characterizing the September 11 acts as evil does not help us understand the
behavior. I have had the chance to talk to a few people who have done very
bad things. They have their reasons, and some of the stories are even
compelling. But understanding human stories or demographic patterns does not
help us predict who is going to do evil, or when they will do it. There is
not a technology for violence prediction. Profiling yields too many false
positives and negatives to be of practical use. We need to be wise about the
limits of risk assessment.
But most people living in the United States, many of whom now feel like
potential victims, don't have the tools to be wise about risk assessment.
Many of us, when we feel helpless, resort to magic, like buying gas masks
and stocking up on Cipro.
What I'm saying is likely to be obvious to most of you, but it would be
difficult to keep the psychological factors in your sights if you were, for
example, the new assistant to the President for homeland security. There
will be a lot of pressure on Mr. Ridge to put things in place that are
expensive, for which perceived benefit is inflated. There will be a tendency
to base policy decisions on intuitive folk science rather than on
levelheaded assessments of risk. To the extent that the public health is
involved, we should be very concerned, and we should advocate where we can
for better health policy. We will be better armed if we understand that
human nature always has us oscillating between an underappreciation of risk
leading to imprudent inactivity on one hand and overappreciation of risk
leading to misallocation of resources.
In the post-September 11 world, people may be prone to developing a wistful
nostalgia for the good old days. The great sage and songwriter Randy
Newman--he gave us the songs "Short People," "I Love L.A.," and the theme
song for the movie, Toy Story--wrote, in a song called, "Dayton, Ohio 1903":
"Sing a song of long ago when things could grow and days flowed quietly.
The air was clean and you could see and folks were nice to you.
Would you like to come over for tea with the missus and me?
It's a real nice way to spend a day in Dayton, Ohio
on a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903."
The song pokes fun at nostalgia for a past that never existed. Now death and
destruction are being rubbed in our faces, and we are forced to grapple with
changed perceptions as much as a new appreciation of reality. There is every
reason to turn our attention back to our work, work that contributes
incrementally but genuinely to human safety, health, and a sense of
well-being. My personal favorite is the study of human nature in all its
biological and psychological complexity. Perhaps the coming years will see
more light shed on the human capacity both for violence and for resilience.
We are rightfully concerned about the traumatic sequelae of September 11.
Let's remind ourselves for a moment that the human response to trauma is at
least as diverse and wide ranging as the human capacity to beget trauma. In
fact, the most common result after catastrophic trauma is to develop no
diagnosable psychiatric disorder at all, which is a tribute to human
adaptive capacity.
I'll end with one of my favorite aphorisms, one that often helps me make the
transition back to a more optimistic state of mind. George Herbert was a
17th century English poet and theologian. (I assume he is the source of
George Herbert Walker Bush's first two names.)
George Herbert said, "Living well is the best revenge." I think Herbert
meant it in the best sense--he gave up his secular ambitions for a life of
service. So, living well to him probably meant living according to our
noblest and most generous values. In that spirit, I wish everyone in this
room and in the Medical School the strength and resilience to live well,
live long, and live generously, carrying on work that is personally
meaningful while promoting better and healthier lives for all.

Pat and Kim... Thank you for the replies. I have only one correction to the list that Pat provided of my husband's family. Sallie Kate married a man named Brockenbrough, NOT Bumgardner. The daugher is Mary Hart Brockenbrough. All are deceased except for Sallie Brockenbrough and Nancy Godsey. I think you may have a mistake under Henry Hartwell: I don't know who Katie, Henry, Jr. is. Henry's children are Jan, Brian Shane, and Dwayne Coley with a deceased son named Darin who died at only a day or two old. Jan is from the first marriage (in Lynchburg), and Brian and Dwayne are born from Betty Ann Bradley (in Fairfax, Va).
