...This is what managed care is all about: parceling less care to more people." In such a system doctors will not be able to do all that they want and patients will not be able to obtain all that they seek. "When doctors were in control," says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman, "costs escalated. To control costs, some care has to be denied." Which is why the ongoing debates on Capitol Hill about managed care are currently stalemated: Neither party is able to come up with a for-profit system that will consistently cut costs and consistently enlarge care...
...Porsches come in chocolate brown? After 92 years as an employee-owned, privately held bastion of brown-suited Americana, UPS has heard the stock market?s siren song. The company will sell 10 percent of itself in a public offering later this year. And TIME Wall Street columnist Daniel Kadlec says this brown-paper package is going to go like hotcakes. "This is the most direct nondirect way to get invested in the Internet," he says. "Fed Ex stock has done very well as a way to cash in on the e-tailing boom through shipping ?- and UPS ships four...
...territory, and hearing this week?s good-news, bad-news earnings reports - such as Microsoft?s, which combined Street-beating earnings with oblique forecasts of Y2K headaches - investors evidently figured Tuesday was as good a time as any.

As local sports columnist Mike Hlas commented, "That was one bad throw. I know it's not as easy as it looks, but man." Even worse, Veronica Portillo, a girlfriend of one of the players, said, "You looked a little old for the first pitch. They're usually little kids." But her friend Shannon Kroll said, "Your...
...treatment is probably not as effective as the even more complicated, more expensive, full-course AZT treatment used in the United States," says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman. "But in the Third World, where costs and infrastructure make that kind of treatment impossible, this allows you to do something instead of nothing." And that something is not inconsequential: Researchers estimate that the new nevirapine regimen could prevent 300,000 to 400,000 newborns each year from being infected by HIV. In the developing world, where 1,800 babies are born each day with the AIDS virus, this is revolutionary medicine...
