Whether they suffer from Type I or Type II, diabetics must be educated and motivated to manage their disease on a daily basis. "Yet ironically," notes University of Vermont endocrinologist Dr. Edward Horton, president of the American Diabetes Association, "our health-care system does not pay for education." That, experts agree, needs to change. As the U.S. population ages rapidly, diabetes, which already costs the nation $20 billion a year, is expected to become increasingly common. And since rising affluence and obesity go hand in hand, the disease can be expected to take root and flourish in developing countries, where...
Rappaport's tactics have earned him the scornof much of the political establishment--bothpartisan and not. What worked wonders againstKerry's ex-boss in the 1988 presidentialrace--just recall the Willie Horton and theAmerican flag television commercials--has failedmiserably in defeating the one-term senator...

...policy as his ticket to the White House and the true measure of presidential achievement. After Michael Dukakis' rousing performance at the 1988 Democratic Convention, Bush was down 17 points in the polls. A rash of silly sloganeering and low blows ensued (remember the Pledge of Allegiance and Willie Horton?), but the road back followed a carefully detailed game plan and always returned to attacking Dukakis as ill equipped to manage America's world role. Whenever complicated domestic questions threatened to confuse the message, Bush heeded his handlers' advice and pushed his central theme. "The single most important...
