...company's newest medical-insurance plan, for instance, offers associates the chance to buy family coverage for $14 to $21 a month. But the deductible is $2,000--a huge outlay for a cashier earning $17,000 a year. Wal-Mart says this Value Plan is the most cost-efficient approach for 70% of its associates, many of whom have other coverage through either a family member or the state. Fewer than 10% of its associates lack health insurance, the company says...

In a pair of epic fiascos, Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary at the time, okayed an invasion force that was probably too small by half - and then agreed with U.S. envoy L. Paul Bremer to cashier the entire Iraqi army two months later.
