...weeks later, the pain forgiven, my cheek peachy and clear, I'm back for more. This time Lancer zaps an ugly brown spot on my left cheek--the result of driving with the California sun constantly bombarding my face. (Seems my chic metal sunglasses had been channeling the sun onto one spot.) This time he uses a different, less powerful laser. Surprise--there's barely any pain! Within days there is also no sign of the stupid blotch that had been bothering me for years. I'm getting to like these lasers...
Suddenly, it's 1986 all over again in Washington, and terms like "Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty" and "verification" are getting play they haven't seen since the days when Edmund Morris had only just met lifelong pal Ronald Reagan. Readers could be forgiven for being a bit confused - didn't we take care of that already? - but in fact the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty has been in limbo ever since President Clinton signed it in 1996, held up by Senate Republicans led by Jesse Helms who have some legitimate concerns about how compliance with the treaty can be verified...

Neither would Thomas Bangalter, Jon Carter, Eric Morillo, Roger Sanchez, Danny Tenaglia, Pete Tong, Gilles Peterson, Ashley Beadle, Norman Jay or Phillippe Zdar. They've heard the boys, and they love them...
Anyone who watched Senate Democrats wax hysterical over managed care's evils while Republicans passed their milder version of HMO reform last week can be forgiven for not knowing two essential facts. First, 97% of treatment decisions by doctors are okayed by managed-care plans, one study shows. So those grisly stories repeated from the Senate floor--the woman who didn't get the catheterization and died--are true exceptions. Next, about 40 states already give patients some of the protections Democrats sought in their broader "bill of rights." The disingenuousness was bipartisan, of course. The Republicans, who had gleefully...
