...Carolina. Last week they asked him if he'd be willing to share some thoughts about life since Ruth, his beloved wife of nearly 64 years, died in June. His moving reflections, which combine both aching sadness and his continuing sense of mission, are included in this week's cover stories...
Luce concluded that Graham was both. In 1954, TIME put Graham on the cover for the first time, calling him "the best-known, most talked-about Christian leader in the world today, barring the Pope."

Fifty years later, when TIME editors Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy visited Graham, they saw that the man who has been on countless magazine covers had only three hung on his office wall: the TIME cover from 1954, a 1992 TIME cover called A CHRISTIAN IN WINTER, and THE PRODIGAL SON, our last Graham cover, with his son Franklin, from 1996.

The problem with the individual market, as anyone with the most innocuous ailments can attest, is that profit-seeking insurers want to cover only younger, healthier people who don't need insurance. The very idea of individual insurance is an oxymoron, since insurance is about spreading risks across a group. Group coverage creates little socialized-health republics in which the young subsidize the old, and the healthy the unwell, with all those in the group paying...
