...recent study by the University of California at San Francisco found that 40 percent of Americans have some type of chronic illness, leading to $425 billion in direct health care costs every year. This explains why, despite annual health care expenditures of over 1 trillion dollars, the United States medical system was recently ranked 18th among developed countries by the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO found that other developed countries that ranked higher than the United States encouraged a pluralistic health care system which incorporated nontraditional therapies, especially to treat chronic ailments. This strongly suggests that the over...
...performed a battery of tests on the shroud and also used pieces of tape to lift material from its surface for later study. The tests included photo- and electron microscopy, X rays, spectroscopy, ultraviolet fluorescence, thermography and chemical analyses. Among the scientists' findings: that the shroud had come into direct contact with a body and that the "blood" on the cloth is probably real blood.

Publicized by a spate of books, the 1978 findings exposed...

"When I knelt down, everything turned fuzzy except the face of Christ on a painting near the altar." The image at the altar issued to Tomes the first of several direct orders that would haunt him for the next three years...

...play by a poet who once seemed untouchably historical but who now seems like only another Harvard alum, and we realize that the play we have (barely) seen might actually be a reflection. The insolubility of Eliot's thought is not a result of Tadjedin's failure to properly direct The Cocktail Party. Rather, it is its greatest strength. It is comforting at least that the characters Eliot has created for us are just as bewildered as we are--yet, it offers no relief...
