...balance out that blow a bit for health-care providers, both the House and Senate plans offer doctors a bouquet of new benefits. They reduce the punitive and pain-and-suffering parts of malpractice awards to a maximum of $250,000. They allow doctors and hospitals to form their own health-care plans, called provider-sponsored networks, so they can compete with existing HMOS and insurance companies. And both proposals revive some currently banned self-referrals, which means, for example, that an orthopedist with an investment in a radiology lab would once again be allowed to send his Medicare patients...

Protocol yielded to compassion as the Empress accompanied Emperor Akihito on an eight-hour visit to the stricken city, stopping at a site where many had died to place a bouquet of daffodils from the gardens of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Their tour of the disaster area was delayed two weeks, so as not to interfere with rescue operations. Though Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama got a cool reception when he was in Kobe 48 hours after the temblor, seeing their...
...workmen scrambled last week to apply a glistening coat of white paint to the outside of police headquarters in downtown Port-au-Prince, a tax official standing on a nearby street corner summed up the skepticism that hangs over Haiti like a noxious bouquet. "It will take more than white paint to change this country," he said. "It's all just dressing on the cake...
