Friedman's doctors weren't incompetent. They didn't operate on the wrong breast or give her the wrong drugs or commit any egregious medical errors--and that is the whole point. While there are bad doctors practicing bad medicine who go undetected, that's not what scares other physicians the most. Instead, they have watched the system become deformed over the years by fear of litigation, by insurance costs, by rising competition, by billowing bureaucracy and even by improvements in technology that introduce new risks even as they reduce old ones. So doctors resist having tests done if they...
...center is all male. Across town, female Opus Dei members have their own separate facility called the Metro Center. Because the male numeraries and some associate numeraries commit to celibacy, the residential wing here is structured to be, in its own way, a facsimile of family life.

If it were that simple, there would be no high-profile athletic programs, and rape on college campuses would be far less prevalent. In 2002, the Harvard University Police Department received 32 reports of “forcible sexual offenses” (and given that over 80 percent...
...Home educators no doubt have a heightened sense of parental responsibility. While critics dismiss them as oddballs, no one could accuse these parents of taking the easy option. By rejecting school, they commit to a plan that will diminish their earning power and personal freedom for years to come. "There's nothing more artificial in the whole world than a classroom," says Craig Smith, a homeschooling father of eight in Palmerston North, New Zealand. His and wife Barbara's experience mirrors that of many families: having spent the first year or two of home education trying to duplicate the classroom...
