...interest groups that want to put their money ($1,500 a page) where their mouths are. Former HEW Secretary Joseph A. Califano Jr. held forth for seven pages (paid for by Xerox Corp.) on the economics of aging, and Jimmy Carter was given two pages (on the house) to explain how the U.S. health-care system "rewards spending and penalizes efficiency...
