...developing America’s foreign policy over the last few months, the Obama administration has extended its hand to a number of different countries. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has already made two trips, the first to Asia and the second to Europe, to assure nations of continued alliance with the United States. This pursuit of closer global ties is promising and will start the crucial process of mending the rifts created by the previous administration. Lacking conspicuously in America’s foreign-policy plans, however, is its own neighbor—Latin America...
...kind that Presidents love to promote: Harvard Law, Rhodes Scholar, named in 1994 by TIME as one of "America's 50 Most Promising Leaders Under 40." She ran health services in her home state of Tennessee, worked in the Clinton White House on health policy in the early 1990s and oversaw the Medicare and Medicaid programs at that decade's end. Since then she has become a highly sought-after corporate, academic and foundation consultant, earning enough money with her husband, New York Times reporter Jason DeParle, to buy a $3 million house in the Washington suburbs...
...Although the responsibility is new for DeParle, the area of expertise is not. Back in 1993, when Hillary Clinton mounted an effort to reform health care, DeParle was at the Office of Management and Budget working on health-expenditure budget-crunching and statistical analysis. Her interest in managing and reforming Medicare and Medicaid has never really abated. "I don't know if you would say this is her second bite at the apple or if you would say this is a long-standing meal," jokes Chris Jennings, who served as Bill Clinton's chief health adviser...
...convene a health-care summit at the White House later this week, Administration officials are signaling that he intends to pursue a very different strategy for getting reform passed from the one used by his Democratic predecessor in office. Unlike the failed effort of 1994, when Bill and Hillary Clinton presented Congress with a detailed blueprint for reform - and never saw a bill reach the floor of either the House or Senate - Obama is outlining broad principles, with a bottom line of universal coverage, and leaving it up to lawmakers to fashion a plan for meeting them...
...Okay, maybe not. But Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's choice to be Special Representative for North Korea Policy, Stephen W. Bosworth, is probably as well-prepared as anyone for the challenge. A career diplomat with years of experience in Asia, Bosworth, 69, is a former Ambassador to South Korea who led the effort to convince Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program in 1994 that resulted in the Agreed Framework treaty. Bosworth was dispatched Monday on his first mission to Asia; he is expected to discuss ways to best bring momentum to the deadlocked six-party talks on North...
