...important to work here, and proud to be a part of the most successful democracy.But as you ride to work every morning humming the ‘West Wing’ theme under breath, you begin to notice something funny. All of the people walking about with their purposeful, ardent strides are young. Interrogation follows intuition; you quickly discover that they, like yourself, are interns. This process repeats itself again and again until you finally realize, with some chagrin, that you are just one of many thousands irresistibly drawn to this place of politics and power.

Due to the reduced costs, combination drug therapy could potentially reach up to two to three times as many people as before.

During Chen's six years in office, the economy has slumped, political reform has stalled, and cross-strait relations with China have pretty much been frozen. Now, amid allegations of corruption against Chen's aides and family members, the opposition has tabled a recall motion in the legislature, where it holds a small majority. The motion needs a two-thirds vote to be carried, which is unlikely. Even if it does pass, it then has to be subject...
