...many of his words are memorized, repeated verbatim at each stop, they still manage to come across as conversational. Despite a bad knee, he will almost trot across a hall to hand a voter the microphone, and always give even the most combative questioners a chance to ask a follow-up question...
...That's why Sequist did a follow-up study with the same group of physicians, asking whether they thought racial disparities were a problem in diabetes care. About 90% said there's a problem in the U.S. nationally, but less than half of that number believed the problem affects their own practices. Now, Sequist is giving those doctors reports on their treatment performance based on the race of the patient.

"We don't know [exactly] what families will experience once they've adopted a child," says Toni Oliver, a representative for the National Association of Black Social Workers and founder of Roots, an adoption agency in Atlanta. "But there's no way at this point for the family to even come back to the agency...
