...means to make U.S. companies more competitive and the economy more efficient. The ground seems particularly ripe for a plan that would provide universal coverage while relieving U.S. businesses of their suffocating health-insurance responsibilities and does it without socializing medicine. Senators Ron Wyden (Democrat, Oregon) and Bob Bennett (Republican, Utah) have made such a proposal, the Healthy Americans Act, which has gained the support of 15 Senate co-sponsors, evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. It would have employers "cash out" their health-care benefits to employees and then would provide a tax deduction...
...this have unquestionably been happening at Harvard since 1636, when the first hobbledehoy freshmen putzed around the Yard, chewing on hardtack and trying to make friends with the other budding clergymen.

This year, as Hunter Bennett concentrates on eating his third piece of fried dough and saving the pin number of another BBM friend, he orates with our observed inconsistency about the joys of the first week at Harvard; “Well, I mean, I just like to party.

As daunting as that sounds, it's a problem all Democrats would be happy to have...
...roller coaster, a 'just hang on' kind of thing." The racers will all be moving at 40 m.p.h., jostling for inside position. Calamities are commonplace: face it; that's part of the appeal. "Anyone here who tells you they haven't crashed is a liar," says fellow American Kyle Bennett. "I had a pretty gnarly concussion once," says the third American qualifier, Mike Day, who was knocked out for a day after face-planting...
