Soldiers' brains bear scars of emotional wounds
![Eighteen months after they have returned from a war zone, soldiers bear an unmistakable sign of emotional trauma deep inside their brains. But in most, a key node of the brain's fear circuitry returns to normal, perhaps keeping mental illness such as post-traumatic stress disorder (<a title="PTSD: Have you been screened?" href="http://www.militarymentalhealth.org/Welcome.aspx" target="_blank">PTSD</a>) from developing, says a new study published Tuesday in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-08/64370238-31085414.jpg "Eighteen months after they have returned from a war zone, soldiers bear an unmistakable sign of emotional trauma deep inside their brains.

Television review: Kelsey Grammer in 'Boss'
![There is something essentially likable about Kelsey Grammer as a performer. That broad scholar-like forehead, the strong jaw and mild blue eyes all conspire to create the image of a sometimes bumbling but still powerful guy, best embodied by his most lasting character, Frasier Crane. This ability to project opposing forces is one reason Grammer has been so successful in comedy — he can play the fool and still remain an alpha male. It's also why he is now able to breathe life into Frasier Crane's hard-hearted doppelganger, Chicago Mayor Tom Kane, who is the centerpiece of Starz's new political drama "Boss."](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-10/65547528-20170223.jpg "There is something essentially likable about Kelsey Grammer as a performer.

For cellist, the music lingers after memory has faded
