...spends almost twice as much in health care as the next most costly nation, and our system is not even close to the best on earth. The assertion that making health care a human right isn't feasible - isn't affordable - nearly makes me mad. It's just not true; in fact, we are the only developed Western country that fails to view health care as a human right. Leadership for change must come from the President and Congress.

Both characters are played brilliantly by John Kelly, who provides a vital link between the stories in Hades and on Earth. As Persephone, he steals the emotional show from the more demonstrative...
...couple of Emerson College students named Jonathan Ade and Patrick DiNicola had a brain wave and stayed up late re-editing footage from the Back to the Future trilogy to create Brokeback to the Future, the time-traveling love story of young Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and mad scientist Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Viral gold. "A friend of ours posted it onto YouTube," says Ade, 21. "After that point it got away from us."
