...line from the location where they were caught. New York doctors have moved ten miles to New Jersey, safely beyond the reach of officials familiar with their records; North Carolina doctors have moved a few miles to Virginia. One physician who lost his license in Maryland, and was forbidden to practice in New York and Ohio, collected $172,000 in Medicare payments last year in Virginia, according to the New York Times. Like the 1996 law, the new Clinton legislation would enable federal and state officials to access such information. In addition, the new legislation would hold hospitals and HMOs...
...proposing that pot be given out in Ec 10. Instead, I am proposing that Harvard take a less harsh view of the forbidden pleasures of growing up and show more compassion toward its students. Many other universities have taken this approach and their campuses have not turned into drug dens and moon-shine distilleries, nor have their students become druggies.

...what is also clear--and disturbing--about this White House moment is that Chung was leading a delegation of foreigners, who by law are strictly forbidden to give money to the President's party.

In the growing mess over Democratic financing for the campaign, Al Gore finds himself with one toe over the line in the matter of the Buddhist temple event and facing plenty of questions to come. And the recent past makes Gore's future tricky. His presidential ambitions for 2000 require him to stay at work in the money game he's so good...
...lies embalmed and displayed in his mausoleum in Tiananmen Square. Deng has asked that his eyes be donated to medicine, his ashes be cast into the sea and no monuments be built to him. Mao had resided in Zhongnanhai, the walled district of Beijing that is China's new Forbidden City; Deng chose to live not in Zhongnanhai but in a block-long house called Miliangku (literally "rice-grain storehouse"), not far away. It was there that China's unquestioned leader, its emperor without portfolio, enjoyed his family, played his beloved games of bridge and drifted into senescence, dealing with...
