...Davis are 43, Nixon 42 and Cattrall 51. (I know, Harrison Ford is 65, but you know that the camera and the audience are kinder to aging male stars than females.) But their characters are youngish, at least in their minds. Like a lot of us, they refuse to grow up or old; they need to stay fit and sexy, to sustain a satiny, early-20s robustness straight into senility. And whether Carrie and her friends are heroic or delusional, they aren't the only ones. Last night The Daily Show played a news clip of a talking head discussing...
Amid the hoopla over new media, it is worth considering the costs of the personalization of news. Sure, viral YouTube videos of global conflicts and tragedies will occasionally find an audience, and movements may grow up around iconic new-media images as they did around the old. But while the long tail ensures once obscure documentaries remain available, citizen advocacy may have a short tail, causing the number of viable causes to get winnowed to a handful of megacauses.

Medicare, on the other hand, decides whether to pay for new technology based on whether a treatment is "medically necessary and appropriate." But as health care expenses rise and entitlement programs grow fiscally strapped - at least one part of Medicare is now expected to be bankrupt by 2019 - more and more academics have called for this approach to be reconsidered, and for cost to become a factor. Such a move would mean that "if the incremental cost of a new technology...
