The vineyards are sheltered from the heavy rainfall in the western part of the state by the Cascade Mountains, much as Alsace is protected by the Vosges.

Georgia is one of the most tightfisted: it has stiff eligibility requirements and ranks 46th among the 50 states in Medicaid funds received annually from Washington, even though it is 13th in the population ranking of the states. Despite such frugality, Georgia expects to share in Reagan's proposed Medicaid cutbacks that would amount to more than $5 billion by 1986. One institution that...
