...consumer side, the National Committee on Quality Assurance found that 26.5 percent of patients reported having trouble getting needed care and nearly half said they experienced problems with paperwork and customer service lines. This should come as no surprise, says TIME science and health contributor Fred Golden. "This is what managed care is all about: parceling less care to more people." In such a system doctors will not be able to do all that they want and patients will not be able to obtain all that they seek. "When doctors were in control," says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman, "costs...
...ultimate experience with Jesus," during which they learned portions of the Psalms and made fabulous and bizarre craft creations. (The "shepherd on a stick" was my favorite.)

Armstrong, who had a hard time convincing any sponsors except the fledgling U.S. Postal Service team that he had it in him, finished the race with a colossal 7-minute-and-37-second lead over his closest rival...
...Tour de France, a slogan the cyclist reportedly loves. Most important, though, Armstrong has demonstrated to cancer patients around the world that the dreaded disease can be vanquished ? and then some. "The message is that even a serious disease is not always totally devastating," says Golden. And that good medicine and staying fit can be an unbeatable combination...
