...disposal, police departments often prefer to dub an individual a person of interest because it has a measure of political correctness that technical terms lack, according to Dr. Rande Matteson, an ex-officer and professor of criminal justice at Florida's Saint Leo University. Matteson says the term is "less damaging" than dubbing someone a suspect, particularly if the police prove to be wrong in their identification. Cynthia Hujar Orr, president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, says authorities may also use the term as a way to curry cooperation, on the assumption that an individual...

But Baucus' relentlessly positive spin couldn't change the fact that for all the wrangling and delays, not a single Republican signed...
...Affordability This issue emerged in the final days of negotiations as a key flash point. To help keep costs down, Baucus provides comparatively less generous subsidies to help low- and middle-income people purchase insurance. "The House bill clearly does more to make coverage affordable for more Americans," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in welcoming Baucus' bill. "As this proposal evolves, we hope to see modifications that result in the Senate bill better reflecting the work of the House to make health care more affordable for all Americans...
