...BARRETT SEAMAN and PHILIP ELMER-DEWITT, who co-edited this week's comprehensive 44-page report on the future of medicine, boast impressive resumes in such projects. Seaman, TIME's special-projects editor, has overseen two recent special issues on medicine and last October's look at a week in the life of a hospital. Elmer-DeWitt, TIME's science editor, has written cover stories on gene therapy and cloning. But when they began framing the topic of this issue, they realized they would need expert assistance.

But it's the former lover, Linda Jones, who landed in jail, and the case against her was based on false statements made on a mortgage application. "The problem with the statute is that the prosecutors, with unlimited resources and unlimited time, become obsessed with bringing down the people they are mandated to pursue," says Espy lawyer Ted Wells...
...surprisingly, the CCC and those who are associated with it use the term "real America" to describe whites who agree with their racist agenda. At a rally to support the Confederate battle flag in Mississippi at which CCC members handed out Confederate flags, white supremacist Richard Barrett said that the Confederate flag "signifies the real American way of life as it was before James Meredith [the first black student at the University of Mississippi] and Earl Warren, and as it can and will be again...
