...church could design a universal health-care plan for the country, it would allow - but not require - insurance companies to provide coverage for practitioners, nurses and nursing facilities. During the 1980s, when fee-for-service plans were more prevalent, Davis says Christian Scientists had riders that allowed them coverage with more than 300 carriers. But with the rise of health maintenance organizations (HMOs), they have found it more difficult to convince insurance companies to cover their "spiritual care...
...murder has recalled the days in which tens of thousands of political dissidents were abducted and killed by the government. Colom's own uncle, a former mayor of Guatemala City, was "disappeared" in 1979. "Rosenberg's death mirrors the tactics the military government used during the 1970s and 1980s when they wanted someone silenced," says Isaacs...

Unemployment could be nearly 10% by mid-year, and it could stay at that level for several quarters. That is clearly not part of Mr. Bernanke's forecast. It is not in the model because it has not happened since the recession of the 1980s and employment improved fairly quickly after hitting a peak at just over 10%. That recession twenty five years ago was not as bad as this one, at least according to experts. Amateur economists might believe that a worse recession would probably cause worse unemployment...
