Many students, especially first-years, say they have joint credit card accounts, with bills going to their parents...
...leading U.S. teaching hospitals. Managed care plans bargaining for the best hospital rates often exclude the top-rated ones. Joining forces against this inexorable economic trend, thirteen leading U.S. cancer centers today announced the formation of an alliance called the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, which will conduct joint research and will attempt to enhance patient access to the latest cancer treatments. "Managed care is not anti-quality," says Dr. George Demitri, Chief of Clinical Services for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, which formed the alliance along with Johns Hopkins, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, the Stanford University Medical Center and other institutes...

John Shalikashvili told lawmakers today. Pre-empting President Clinton's formal request for the money next month as part of his 1996 budget, the nation?s top general painted a picture far worse than he did last fall, when costs from overseas deployments to Haiti and the Persian Gulf led to canceled training and sagging readiness in three of the Army's 12 divisions. Shalikashvili warned that if the new money doesn't arrive...
