Disappointingly, neither candidate's plan will bring us to the ideal of universal health care access. But both plans will expand Medicare and increase seniors' access to prescription drugs. Although funded differently, both plans are similar in this respect. However, only Gore has expressed a commitment to target specifically uninsured children. Furthermore, although Bush has professed a commitment to a patient's bill of rights during the final presidential debate, his track record is dubious: In Texas, he refused to sign such a bill...
...against his own machine. "I feel that it is necessary to leave Rage because our decision-making process has completely failed," he says. "It is no longer meeting the aspirations of all four of us collectively as a band and, from my perspective, has undermined our artistic and political ideal." ("Creative differences" would have sufficed.) Guitarist Tom Morello says the band will survive with 25% less rage and that 29 tracks mastered by rap-rock producer Rick Rubin are ready for the next album.

...composer John Cage, who incorporated actual noise into his work.

"I like Gore on Social Security and the environment," said Carlos Reyes, 55, who runs a medical billing company. But Reyes says people...
...From the outset, Washington paid too much attention to Barak's operating style and not enough to Arafat's. The Camp David summit Clinton hastily convened last July was ideal for the Israeli prime minister - a hands-on manager who delegates little to his diplomats, Barak had convinced Clinton that the only way he and Arafat could reach a treaty was to isolate the two of them in a secluded spot where political enemies and the press couldn't "salami-slice" the concessions they'd have to make...
