    Rhonda V. Magee.
    Summary: Law professor and mindfulness practitioner Rhonda Magee shows that the work of racial justice begins with ourselves. When conflict and division are everyday realities, our instincts tell us to close ranks, to find the safety of our own tribe, and to blame others. The practice of embodied mindfulness--paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in an open, nonjudgmental way--increases our emotional resilience, helps us to recognize our unconscious bias, and gives us the space to become less reactive and to choose how we respond to injustice. It is only by healing from injustices and dissolving our personal barriers to connection that we develop the ability to view others with compassion and to live in community with people of vastly different backgrounds and viewpoints. Incorporating mindfulness exercises, research, and Magee's hard-won insights, The Inner Work of Racial Justice offers a road map to a more peaceful world.

    In a double-blind, crossover study conducted in ten hospitalised patients suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis, the anti-inflammatory effect of diclofenac sodium (Voltaren) in a daily dosage of 125 mg was compared with that of placebo under strictly standardised conditions. Changes in reversible articular swelling were determined by measuring the circumference of involved wrist, knee, metacarpophalangeal, interphalangeal, and metatarosphalangeal joints. A consistent decrease in joint swelling occurred in response to treatment with diclofenac sodium, as compared with a consistent increase following placebo medication. This difference was significant at the 5% level for all except the interphalangeal joints. Similarly, in response to diclofenac sodium a greater improvement was noted in duration of morning stiffness and grip strength and a greater reduction in the total number of painful and swollen joints. The status of the rheumatoid condition improved in nine patients following treatment with diclofenac sodium, but in none following placebo medication. Two patients reported unwanted effects, consisting of a sensation of fullness during treatment with diclofenac sodium in one case and of heartburn during both treatment periods in the other. No laboratory abnormalities were noted.
