I think a certain amount of arguing is 'healthy' for any relationship, but sometimes it is super difficult to bite my tongue ... Is this an issue for anyone else?" — Larisa Majors, in the Love & Relationships forum

PICTORIAL TRIBUTE TELL STORY

Memorial Day stands alone among this nation's holidays, an annual heart-wrenching reminder that freedom has a cost. To mark this year's observance, National Geographic published "Where Valor Rests: Arlington National Cemetery" ($30). The richly hued coffee-table book guides readers on a journey through grounds that hold the remains of presidents and generals, the famous and the unknown. "Arlington is a shrine to valor and sacrifice, to service and fidelity," reads Pulitzer-winner Rick Atkinson's introduction. "Those interred here tell a story not just of the Republic in war and peace, but also of a transcendental ideal, conceived in liberty and reconsecrated in every new grave dug, every benediction murmured, every commitment into the hallowed ground."

FINAL WORD

"This is a very naked book, and I really felt like I had to be my own pathologist."
