...mangas para tomar al toro por los cuernos. Giachello fund? hace doce a?os el Midwest Latino Health Research, Training and Policy Center, en la Universidad de Illinois en Chicago. Desde entonces, el centro se ha convertido en un ejemplo a la hora de involucrar a l?deres comunitarios (en lugar de ?expertos? profesionales) en la obtenci?n de informaci?n, evaluaci?n de las necesidades m?dicas y desarrollo de planes para combatir problemas de salud que afectan con m?s frecuencia a los latinos. Entre los programas se encuentran tres centros autosuficientes enfocados en la diabetes, ubicados dentro de vecindarios de bajos ingresos en Chicago...
...officials around the world believe much of his network is still in business. (Today Khan lives under house arrest in Pakistan, but the U.S. has yet to receive Islamabad's permission to question him.)

The Bank has also striven to combat corruption among governments that receive Bank assistance, insisting that countries meet tougher standards for transparency. But some outsiders say the Bank remains too lenient. Republican U.S. Senator Richard Lugar introduced a bill last month that would help poor countries fight corruption, and that encourages transparency and accountability in multinational development banks. "Within the Bank as a whole there appears to be an institutional culture often resistant to fighting corruption," says Keith Luse, a senior staff member on Lugar...
...resolution to block the weapons sale. Nonetheless, the White House blithely announced early last week that it would go ahead with the deal unless both houses of Congress voted it down within 30 days. With just such a prospect beginning to appear likely, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar of Indiana engineered the March 1 delay as a compromise. Most legislators, however, saw the move as a humiliating Administration defeat...
