...such dramatic changes in HIV transmission—and with reliable technology to test blood for HIV—preventing men who have had sex with men from donating is now nothing but discrimination against homosexual males. The Red Cross regularly faces difficulty collecting enough blood to meet demand, and allowing as many people to donate as possible is in everyone’s best interest. Disqualifying this segment of the population helps no one. If the FDA is concerned about disease transmission through blood donations—which it rightly should be—it would do better...
...already a winner, since you're a buyer in a market where supply greatly outstrips demand. Seriously, if Microsoft's $44.6 billion bid for Yahoo! means one thing, it's that advertising--not subscriptions or surveys or micropayments--is the engine that Internet content will run on. This is a victory party for online advertising's long boom. According to a Yankee Group report, online advertising rang up $16.9 billion in revenue in 2006 and could grow 24% a year or more. It's still a pretty meager slice of total ad spending--only 7.5% last year, according...
...strong is the public's demand for universal coverage? In the fall, Republicans will be able to say that their proposals would make coverage portable, give patients more control and increase the number of people with insurance--all without raising taxes, increasing spending or threatening what people value in their current arrangements. Voters might well conclude that it is a good deal, even if it does not cover everyone. Obama has attacked Clinton's plan for forcing people to buy insurance whether they want it or not. Most experts agree that universal coverage requires such heavy-handedness. Republicans...
...task requires augmented intelligence capabilities and special operations forces—not a half-trillion dollars worth of new submarines and planes. The administration has clearly lost the ability to approach defense policy rationally. Certainly America’s national integrity and security against current and emerging threats does demand a solid military establishment. But our forces should be tailored to address the unique threats they will face, not pushed blindly to the limits of what is technologically and fiscally possible. Citizens of our democracy expect (and deserve) other guarantees from their government, such as public education, health care...
...spokesman. Unnamed Berlin officials were quoted in the German press calling it an "outrage" and even, in one case, an "impertinence." Nonsense, retorted a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity this week: "It was a request by one member of the alliance to another: It was not a demand." Maybe so, but the chilly reception to the missive augurs poorly for Washington's new campaign to persuade allies to dispatch more troops to volatile parts of southern Afghanistan...
