Jon Burden, whose wife's breast cancer is in remission, said he wanted critics to know that "without the NHS either my wife would be dead or I would be broke...
...first talked to Robert Novak 25 years ago, when I was a newly hired staffer at the Republican National Committee. After introducing himself, he handed down Novak rule No. 1.
