...table. But at a certain point, the President won't be able to remain so (deliberately) vague about what he wants to see in the final product, and the details of the plan will very much determine whether potential opponents will support him in the end. Nowhere is that clearer than on the controversial question of whether the health-care-reform scheme will include a "public option," which would give people the choice of being covered under a government-financed program. On Thursday, the American Medical Association (AMA) said that while it is willing to consider a public plan under...
...people who got tricked. The answer is no. The "fix" is that the new window asks, "Do you really want to send e-mail invites with these photos to all ___ of your contacts," with the blank representing the number of addresses on your list.

"There is no vacancy. There is no challenger." (See pictures of Brown as he prepared to become Prime Minister...
...Reading about their epic suffering, you wonder how they ever got anything done at all. But Levy raises the tantalizing possibility that their genius arose in part because of their migraines rather than in spite of them. He entertains the idea that migraines "make the clear moments that much clearer, the dark moments that much more unreachable." There is a quasi-Buddhist discipline to enduring them, and they leave in their wake a mind worn smooth and bright by their passage. In 1910, Virginia Woolf, sensing a headache coming on, prepped herself for inspiration. "I feel my brains, like...
