...adventure." Things would change, he told the Class of 2001. You may have arrived this week at Harvard with a firm idea of who you are and what you will become, but by the end of first semester, you might discover that you no longer want to be a doctor or a businessperson or "God help us, a lawyer." Instead, he explained in the sort of wistful voice that only academics can affect, you might discover a passion for the English Palladians (whoever they are), or for Ugaritic texts, or for the life and times of airborne spores.

...Healthcare and Prudential Healthcare, have begun cutting back or eliminating reimbursement for both pills. Diet chains like Jenny Craig and Nutri/System are backing away from them too.

But neither he nor the Spencers are saying more. Last week the Paris daily Le Parisien quoted an unnamed doctor as saying Diana's last words, as an oxygen mask was put over her face, were "Leave me alone." But this "witness" is also the one who incorrectly claimed that Dodi's body was thrown 60 ft. from the car. Lies, conspiracy theories and outrageous tales abound. An emergency-service...
...arrange to transfer my friend to the hospital on ER, which is right across town. Those ER doctors cure just about everything with great dispatch, and they're only residents. If some whiny Chicago Hope doctor like Aaron ever tried his kvetching in an ER trauma room, Mark would tell him to pull up his socks or go home...
