...part of a suit herself. She says she feels confident that Congress will decide the widows "have the truth on our side." Still, she fears there is a culture inside the U.S. immigration bureaucracy that assumes foreign spouses are merely green-card gold diggers. (To be fair, immigration agents do confront myriad scam artists, male and female.) She and Tigran were genuinely in love, she says, because they were "Russian soul mates" - he was born in Russia and came to America as a child with his parents - who met a year after she arrived in the U.S. on a visitor...
...information alone will not lead to reform. Obama wants to make evidence-based medicine financially attractive so that providers are rewarded rather than punished for reducing readmissions and unnecessary procedures.

He said the election had been fair and that people should rest assured the "Islamic republic does not betray the votes of the people." Khamenei also warned that there would be zero tolerance for street rallies...
...between the U.S. and Europe in other international crises - most divisive, Europe's reluctance to send combat troops to Afghanistan - the allies are hardly at odds in their basic response to the Iranian election. "There isn't a deep underlying difference - both sides would like to see free and fair elections in Iran," says Niblett. "But there are various factors that have prevented a unified response. And that's O.K. In this regard, Obama should play it differently...
