Public opinion just might be swinging toward some such solution. Harris polls conducted for the National Council on the Aging last year found that 73% of those questioned generally opposed reductions in COLAS. Those responding to a March Gallup poll, however, voted narrowly in favor of lower COLAS as part of a general hold-down on federal spending, 48% to 44%. The trouble for politicians, of course, is that the only people who are likely to vote for or against a candidate on the basis of that one issue are the aged, and they are still passionately opposed...

In contrast to electronic libraries (computers that are little more than sophisticated adding machines or memory banks) the SUMEX program works with "uncertainty" factors. These yield recommendations to physicians that avoid simplistic black-and-white terms in favor of various shades of gray. The program is designed to take into account all the available evidence that might either buttress or call into doubt a given medical hypothesis. This enables a physician to go back to the computer and question it as to how it weighed the relevant information...
