...presidential hopefuls, candidates understandably must appeal to their party’s base. The majority of Americans are demanding universal health coverage, and the Democrats are on board. Republicans oppose socializing health care because it conflicts with their principle of small government. Since the solution to the healthcare problem does not appeal to the Republican’s base, Republican candidates choose to, at best, politically trivialize the issue, or, at worst, to completely ignore it. It is an assassination of a dire social need, and the perpetrator is partisan politics...
...worth the peace of mind of citizen soldiers, willing to sacrifice their time and perhaps lives to the military. Like predecessor statutes dating from 1940, the 1994 act's broad protections rest on the promise of a federal jury trial--with rights to evidence, a fair hearing and an appeal--if an employer fails to comply...
...faster and cheaper than going to court, though studies have cast doubt on both claims. What really bugs employees are the rights they lose in arbitration--and the apparent bias of arbitrators.

Eccentricity has always been a part of the White Stripes' appeal--six albums in, they're still working the ironic-novelty-costume act--but for most listeners the real draw is the melodies. On Icky Thump, there are four really good ones. You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told) stomps all over a passive lover's heart with a Led Zeppelin--quality riff and an impossibly effortless vocal, while the sweet, diffident A Martyr for My Love for You changes the pace and proves Jack White can sing ballads too. Along with Catch...
