...best deal she could find on private insurance was $400 a month, and because of recent cuts in Illinois's CHIP program, someone at Godboldt's income level would have to pay a monthly deductible of $2,300. She recently had to pay $450 when her 6-year-old daughter needed X rays and blood work. "It was really hard, but I didn't have a choice," Godboldt says. "She was so sick, and we didn't know what was wrong." Anxieties like hers explain why, in Republican pollster Bill McInturff's surveys, twice as many people (14%) thought...
...Travel Bureau brochures. An economy gnawed by deflation produces a climate where xenophobia heats up, not cools down. Education should propagate multiculturalism but instead fosters cookie-cutter conformity in a marathon sprint to brand-name universities which offer a woefully shoddy product. If my wife and I have a daughter, she may well need to sacrifice all hope of a rewarding career should she elect to stay in a Japan as sexist as it is now.

A groundbreaking conference this week could help change that and may open the door for billions of dollars in aid for Vietnamese victims. Dozens of researchers and medical experts gathering in Hanoi will work together to study Agent Orange's aftermath, seeking hard evidence of a connection between the chemical and illness among Vietnamese citizens...
...week's conference. Clearer data could come within a year or two with both countries cooperating. If scientists confirm the wartime defoliation program made millions sick, the U.S. might finally be shamed into giving compensation. "America caused this problem, so it should take moral responsibility," Ngoc says, cradling his daughter. Unfortunately morality?like science?often mixes poorly with politics...
